The Meadows Sports College is an 11 -19 education provision for young people with complex disabilities and needs. The young people that attend the school, thrive on stimulation and physical activity, which in turn causes them to progress and become confident citizens.

We would like to revamp and update the sensory equipment in the outdoor areas of the school. We have a lovely walk way that has no sensory input, and a wooden area that is beyond the physical needs of the new cohorts of young people moving into the school. The revamp will cost around £8K.

As a Sports college we would like to raise money through the medium of sport, therefore we are going to lead a 24 hour row, whereby teams row over the 24 hour period (between noon on the 4th and 5th of July), attempting to cover 146 miles , which is the distance between Sandwell and The London Regatta Centre where the Paralympic Rowing will be hosted in 2012.

If your Team, company/business or establishment would like to support this by committing to take part and raise money, please do not hesitate to contact me for more information and Sponsor forms. If you are unable to participate in the event but would like to support this fundraiser please contact me.

Many thanks for your time and look forward to hearing from you soon
