Monday –The Charities Lottery funds ASBAH Family weekend
With the proceeds of our first draw from Monday –the Charities Lottery, the Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus, ASBAH, now has the funding to run their first Family Weekend for a number of years. – Up to 20 families attend the weekend, the parents receiving in-depth training and support from ASBAH’s medical and other specialist advisers, whilst their disabled children and siblings spend the weekend meeting others with the same disability as themselves. They learn through play the effects of their condition, greater social skills and the parents gain an understanding their child’s development with spina bifida or hydrocephalus, and how they can do the best for their child.
Speaking of the award, Andrew Russell, Chief Executive of the Association for Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus ASBAH commented,
“We’re delighted with the results of our first draw Like every charity we have to balance what activities we would like to do with the funds available. Monday’s first Draw will make a transforming difference to 20 families throughout the UK, providing much-needed training and information for all of the family members.”
We are very grateful to Monday – the Charities Lottery, for their support and wish them success in involving many more players who want to help make a real difference to so many UK Charities.”
