A sensory garden for children with autism: a volunteer-led effort in Nottingham
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $2,850 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,850.
It will serve about 444 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Materials: $2,150
• Permits and inspections: $260
• Safety equipment and signage: $100
• Tools hire and delivery: $340
Thank you so much.
