This year in true Joseph style he will be raising money for 21 Plus by undertaking a rugby themed challenge with the help of his brothers rugby team Ebbw Vale Steelers under 16s.

On Tuesday 18th March Joseph and the team will be wearing their odd socks and playing rugby for "21" minutes where Joseph will be tackling, scoring tries and doing line outs. The event will be filmed and posted.

21 Plus supports more than 100 families across much of South East Wales with:

• weekly early intervention groups for pre-schoolers

• weekly primary aged communication groups

• fortnightly youth group for teens and young adults

• school support service - providing training and support to schools and nurseries

• annual programme of training and workshops for parents/carers and professionals

• annual speech and sport camp for primary aged children

• annual residential camp for teens and young adults

• family social events throughout the year

Following this on Tuesday, Joseph will also be taking part in the main fundraiser for 21 Plus where he will undertake a Danceathon on Saturday 22nd March, Any donations would be greatly appreciated for this wonderful charity which has supported Joseph and us as a family since he was 6 months old and provided so many opportunities to help him thrive and develop into the wonderful young man that he is.
