About Us

PAG is a local charity for families with Special Needs children. We have a committee of 10 parents who each have at least one child with a disability. Our aim is to create more and better play opportunities for Special Needs children, in Rushmoor and the surrounding area. We do this through campaigning, fundraising and organising! We would like to share some of our success with you.

Our 'STATEMENT OF PURPOSE' is

Every child has a right to play

AIMS

For play provision for children and young people with disabilities/special needs to become part of the local authorities statutory commitment.

To increase the amount of play provision for children and young people with disabilities by:

• Raising awareness of the need to the local authority and other local providers.
• Providing relevant information about possible play opportunities, in order to increase the knowledge of the local authority and other local providers.

OBJECTIVES

• Gather evidence to prove the need, in terms of personal development, community inclusion and straight forward statistics.
• Engage local councillors in the debate in order to gain their support.
• With the help of other organisations i.e. Challengers, Kids & Mencap look at possible play opportunities in the Borough.
• Support the local authority and charities in their efforts to implement any plans for provision. This includes fund raising.
