A sensory garden for children with autism: a volunteer-led effort in Tarragona

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $2,150 for materials.

Tarragona
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar community hall, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,150. It will serve about 382 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in September and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,150 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $380 • Safety equipment and signage: $95 • Materials: $1,675 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
