Local charity Amaze is celebrating hitting their target for their crowdfunder campaign for Amazing Futures, their youth work project supporting young people aged 14-25 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Brighton & Hove and East Sussex.
The Amazing Futures project helps young people with SEND tackle barriers they face in society by supporting them to come together, make friends, have fun, try new activities, learn and be unapologetically themselves.
The crowdfunder is now looking to raise towards a stretch target of £20,000 so donations are still welcomed. There are a number of rewards still to claim, donated by businesses and organisations across Brighton & Hove and East Sussex which includes:
Sally Polanski, CEO of Amaze, said: “Young people tell us time and time again that having the opportunity to be with their peers in a fun, safe and inclusive space is life-changing, in helping them to develop skills and grow in confidence as they prepare for adulthood.
“We are so proud of our Amazing Futures project which has been created with young people and supported by our staff and volunteers with lived experience of SEND. We are grateful for all donations to this crowdfunder appeal, big or small, which will help to sustain this vital service, and hopefully grow it, so that we can support more young people with additional needs in Sussex for years to come.”
The crowdfunder closes on 28 May, and a full list of prizes are available on the crowdfunder site.
