Without the generosity of our supporters we would not be able to do what we do. All of the money raised goes straight to support the sensory impaired and disabled children of the Linden Lodge community, helping to enrich their experience, and increase their independence and quality of life.  Every single donation no matter how large or small really does make a difference.

​

Every year we raise funds to provide activities which are not covered by the school's budget, including specialist music lessons, riding lessons and the much-loved week-long trip to Woodlarks, a specialist campsite for the disabled.

SPACe Appeal: Sports and Performing Arts Centre

 

In addition, our current major appeal is the Sport and Performing Arts Centre (SPACe) project. This will deliver a more appropriate and accessible learning environment, vital for visually impaired, deaf and deafblind students through the creation of a multipurpose fully accessible acoustically treated space which includes an assembly hall, gym, fitness suite and music rooms.

The plans include new acoustics and audio equipment, modern lighting, air cooling, a gym projector and screen, updating two floor-level trampolines and a high spec projector with specialist video equipment. This development will significantly impact the whole school. The rooms are used daily for various activities, including school assemblies, staff training and meetings, fitness and PE sessions, and music lessons. 

With the first two phases of funding successfully completed, construction is already underway, and the new SPACe assembly hall should be completed by the end of the summer. Funds raised from Parkside in Bloom will help bring the final phase to life, focused on modernising the fitness suite and music rooms to support pupils’ physical development and creative expression.
