WE HAVE DONE IT!!!
🥳🥳🥳🥳Chapter One can OFFICIALLY say we have the keys to our OWN BUILDING!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳
It has been a long 14 months… from February 24 to April 25; we have put blood, sweat and tears into securing the future for our children, young people and families at Chapter One.
We cannot wait to see what we can do with our 9,000 sqft building, and the amount of support we can offer SEN families in Gloucestershire with this new space to grow!
We already support over 110 young people, and we know how many families are still on our waiting list!
This has been the main dream of ours since we opening in January 2022, and we are so excited to say that this is now our reality! It is incredibly emotional and overwhelming to be able to say that!🥹
Want a sneak peek at our plans we have👀🤭
Take a read below at what amazing facilities we have started inside our new building:
2-STOREY SOFT PLAY
LARGE SENSORY ROOM
6 CLASSROOMS
SPORTS HALL
FULLY ACCESSIBLE CHANGING ROOM
MANAGERS OFFICE ON SITE
STAFF ROOM
EQUIPPED KITCHEN
OUTSIDE GARDEN INCLUDING SWING, SLIDE and TRAMPOLINE AREA
AND SO MUCH MORE…
With so much excitement and plans upcoming, the harsh reality still lies with the fundraising efforts to help make this possible for our children, young people and families!
Chapter One are receiving NO financial support from any external sources or local authorities for this project, and being solely on our own comes with excessive costs to make this the perfect SEN friendly centre.
A massive thank you to everyone who has already donated through sponsored walks, runs and fundraising events etc.
With that being said, volunteers and donations are still being so kindly accepted!
Please do if you can, donate through our website or GoFundMe or to offer any support please email us on
chapterone@connections2independence.com
As much help from our community as possible will help Chapter One continue to be the biggest short breaks provider for SEN children and young people in Gloucestershire.
We cannot thank all our families, friends, and supporters enough for following Chapter One’s journey over the last 3 years, and helping us get to where we are today.
You do not understand how much it means to us!🥹
WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE EXCITING UPDATES!🥰
Love from,
Paige, Lichelle, Keatz and Chapter One Management.
