A sensory garden for children with autism for Union Park: help our neighbors in London

Volunteers in London are raising $2,900 for a sensory garden for children with autism at Union Park.

London
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,900. It will serve about 243 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $2,900 goes: • Materials: $1,850 • Permits and inspections: $260 • Safety equipment and signage: $430 • Tools hire and delivery: $360 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Aiden

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($205 in total) I made the first payment toward tools hire and delivery. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
