On the weekend of 20-21 May, I will be undertaking a Digital Detox in aid of Focus West London. Please sponsor me!
For 24 hours, I will unplug from all digital devices including Facebook & Instagram and this will definitely be a challenge!
Instead of staring at screens I will be embracing other activities and will be surrounded by family who will be a welcome distraction!
Focus West London is a Saturday club for autistic children which teaches them play, social and language skills in a fun, nurturing and child-centred environment.
Every child is provided with a volunteer therapist trained in a highly effective behavioural intervention. I am currently volunteering at Focus West London for the second time. I returned because it is incredibly rewarding to witness children learning skills that will continually help them interact with their peers as well as adults. Focus West London also provides opportunities for families to hear expert speakers on a range of topics relevant to their child's needs, as well as socialise and connect with other families facing similar challenges.
Autism-specific services like this are rare and badly needed.
Please help me raise money for this fantastic organisation.
