A sensory garden for children with autism for the Union community hall: help our neighbors in Leeds
Volunteers in Leeds are raising $3,000 for a sensory garden for children with autism at the Union community hall.
🇬🇧 Leeds, England, United Kingdom4,291 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,000.
It will serve about 384 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $3,000 goes:
• Materials: $1,950
• Permits and inspections: $250
• Safety equipment and signage: $420
• Tools hire and delivery: $380
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Mumbai.
Thinking of you, Roman. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. God bless.
Take care. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Springfield donated after I showed her your page.
you're not alone, Roman. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Sending love. Great idea, hope you get there. We're a small family in Buffalo but we're thinking of you.
You're not alone. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
