By holding a Facebook Fundraiser for your birthday it won't just be you who gets to open presents.
With a Facebook Fundraiser you can set any target you want, and your friends will have the chance to make a difference to the lives of young people with vision impairment and complex needs.
Raising £50 could buy a set of Big Point Switches and give the gift of communication and choice-making to someone who struggles to make even their most basic needs known.
If your mates donate £90 between them we could take that choice-making out into the big wide world and enable choice making in our sensory garden.
Even just £30-40 could buy different social communication board games.
Send us a message if you need help setting up your birthday fundraiser. You can also make a fundraiser at any time: buff.ly/3614teH
