Spare a Pair targets financial hardship and aims to fulfil a fundamental human need. It will distribute 500 pairs of new socks, undergarments, and gently used coats to disadvantaged children who face social and academic challenges due to the lack of respectable clothing brought on by the current Cost of Living crisis. We recognize that wearing decent garments can be an empowering, transformative experience, giving the wearer the self-esteem and confidence necessary to succeed at school and the way you see yourself. When you feel and look your best, you exude confidence and ability.
Psychologist Dr Mair says: ‘Being well dressed can improve our self-confidence and what we wear affects how we are perceived by others.' – this should be in coloured strip to break up text
The scooters Micro so graciously donated to In Kind Direct, enabled us to purchase high quality scooters at a fraction of their original price. We were thus able to grant them to children with Dyspraxia and mobility issues — who struggle with walking but find scooting a delight — their own high-quality scooters thereby granting them wheels to freedom and enabling them to get to school, our club and beyond independently.
We’ve also integrated several scooters into our on-site activities. From our Feeling, Talking, Walking Garden to our afterschool club sessions and even our 1-to-1 therapy sessions, these scooters are helping children build coordination, strengthen mobility skills, and develop independence in a supportive, playful environment.
We are deeply grateful to Micro and In Kind Direct for making this possible. Thank you so much Micro and In Kind.
