Donations Appreciated

Donations appreciated.

Hi Newlanders,

I am working with a 16 y.o. young man with profound autism and a range of other disabling factors.  The organisation I’m working with has developed a sensory room for him, but the NDIS has only stretched so far….

So, his wonderful O.T. has suggested we look for the following donations of arty /crafty stuff…

Chalk, paints, beads, fabric, pipe-cleaners, sequins, glue, scented candles (not to be lit), or other scented stuff, relaxation CDs (not speaking or guided mediation stuff, just the tunes), foam shaped items – the sort of thing that if it is thrown at you, it wont hurt!

Also, he may benefit from a hammock to sling up for calming, rhythmic movement. 

If you are spring cleaning and have spare art stuff, please drop it off at 30 Ballard Ave Coburg North. We don’t have much space for storage, so if donations could please stay within the above suggestions, that is, he doesn’t need clothes or household items.

Thanks heaps in advance, Gigi.
