The charity has been able to launch the centre due to the support of the community received this year, especially from funders such as Southern Rail and the Mayor’s Charity.

Rebecca said, “There is a huge amount of excitement and expectation surrounding the launch of the Embrace Centre. We are so grateful of the

support our children have received this year from the business community and from our families that we work with.

“We love working with our children and feel honoured and excited to be able to offer them a new centre to improve their learning experiences. The centre and sessions offered there have the potential to make a huge difference to many isolated children and families and really impact the level of support and education that local disabled children and their families receive.”
