Children With Disabilities Enjoy Night At The Theatre (December 2007)
Children and young people with disabilities enjoyed a night out at the theatre thanks to a generous donation from their local PC World.
The extra-special present to see Peter Pan at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre was nominated by Satnam Mander of PC World as part of their Switched on Communities Programme.
Chief Executive Parpinder K Dhatt said, “ Every year our children and young people ask if they can attend a local theatre performance as many are unable to attend either for economic or access reasons. As a local charity supporting South Asian children and young people with disabilities we aim to create a range of opportunities and experiences for South Asian children and young people with disabilities and thanks to PC World we have been able to achieve this.”
“I would like to thank Satnam and PC World for supporting Sandwell Asian Family Support Service in this way and for creating a wonderful experience for our children and young people. They thoroughly enjoyed the performance and to see the smiles on their faces was very special indeed.”
The night at the theatre was attended by 30 children and young people who are all from the Sandwell area.
Sandwell Asian Family Support Service (SAFSS) provides a range of services for South Asian children, young people and young adults who have a range of disabilities. SAFSS currently runs an after school club, domiciliary care (care at home service), liaison and outreach service, a youth group and parents and carers support group.
