BOSP provides clubs & respite for children &young adults with disabilities & life limiting conditions

For 30 years, BOSP has been providing fun clubs for children & young adults with complex disabilities or limited life conditions, along with vital respite for families. Our aim is to deliver sessions as fun and dynamic as possible, in order to develop the children and young people’s independence, self-esteem, physical, social skills and well-being in a fun and supportive environment, so they can enjoy better quality of life both inside the home and within the wider community.

Our next “35 for 35” interview is here!

As part of BOSP’s 35th anniversary celebrations, we are sharing 35 stories from the businesses and organisations who have helped shape our journey over the years.

35 stories from those that have chosen to back BOSP!

This week, we chat to Sue from The Railway Billericay! She spoke to our ‘Roving Reporter Rachel’ about fundraising for BOSP through Harry’s Day, and the generosity of their regulars!

This Sunday they have a Halloween Party from 3.30pm, and their friend Kat is going bald for BOSP! She will be shaving her head shaved during the live band’s break to fundraise for us! You can come and join us there, or sponsor Kat by clicking on the following link (link also in bio! 🔗)

And for those who want to join our campaign, it’s not too late! Drop us a message for a full information pack and stay tuned for our next interview!

Coming to social media on Fridays!

We are a small independent charity that relies on the kindness & compassion of charitable trusts, personal donors, and corporate/community fundraisers, to enable us to deliver our work.

We are therefore always so grateful for all of the donations we receive here at BOSP. They truly do make a huge difference!

Here are just a few of the ways that your donations have an impact in the vital work we do!

Thank you for your ongoing support and generosity!

Our Skills 4 Life group had a great time at The Gruffalo Trail!

You can tell by the smiles that lots of fun was had in the Autumn sunshine! 🌞

We love to see the young adults that attend these sessions grow in confidence, and develop friendships and skills for life every day.

More snapshots of our next adventures coming soon 💙

Thank you to everyone who makes this possible!
