I'd love to draw your attention to a local charity that does amazing work enriching the lives of children with learning disabilities and supporting their families - through the power of play. If you were thinking of getting me a gift for my 40th birthday then I would love you to donate to YORDA instead.
Based near Chessington, the Yorda playhouse is a unique space that creates a safe environment where all children can be themselves. The team runs play projects for children and young people with significant learning or complex disabilities and their families. They believe in the power of play, helping children to express themselves, communicate, build relationships and have lots of fun along the way.
