💙 Hays Travel Foundation Supports Families in the North East 🧡

Love, Amelia is a North East England baby bank charity providing essential items to babies, children and young people experiencing poverty and hardship.

With support from the Hays Travel Foundation, the charity has been able to help families whose babies were sleeping in unsafe conditions, reducing the waiting list and providing safe and suitable places for babies to sleep. 🛏️

Each family supported received a brand-new cot or Moses basket, mattress, bedding, blanket and teddy, helping to provide families with essential items during difficult times.

The project has had a significant impact, reaching 15,418 children, young people and their families. 🌟

💪 Never Give Up Day 💪

Today is all about resilience, determination, and the strength to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles life throws our way.

At the Hays Travel Foundation, we’re proud to support projects in education, health, poverty relief, arts, and sport that help children and young people overcome challenges, build confidence, and unlock their potential. 🌟

One inspiring example is a project delivered by NICE - Centre for Movement Disorders, who believe that individuals affected by movement disorders should never be defined by their disability.

With our funding, they launched a Conductive Education Therapy Programme, where participants reported:

🧠 Enhanced motor skills and independence - making progress in coordination and physical independence.

👨‍👩‍👦 Greater parental involvement - parents took part alongside their children, learning how to support their growth.

✅ Boosted confidence and self-esteem - children worked together, achieved physical goals, and built lasting social skills.

Stories like this remind us why it’s so important to never give up. 💙🧡

💙 Hays Travel Foundation Supports Inclusive Swimming for Autistic Children 🧡

Downpatrick Autism Family Support Group is dedicated to supporting autistic children, young people and their families by providing opportunities that promote inclusion, confidence and wellbeing.

With support from the Hays Travel Foundation, the charity delivered its All Ability Swimming programme, providing 16 autistic children with five days of one-to-one, child-led swimming lessons delivered by specialist instructors. 🏊

The programme has had a fantastic impact, with all 16 children reporting improved mental wellbeing, increased confidence and self-esteem, and enhanced water safety skills. Parents and carers also experienced increased confidence and wellbeing, with many feeling reassured that their child could access high-quality, inclusive activities within their local community. 🌟
