Did you know that 84% of disabled children go without regular access to play? Challengers works to change this by providing play and leisure schemes for disabled children and young people aged 2-18. We make it possible for any child, with any impairment to access essential play opportunities, helping them to develop vital skills such a confidence, co-ordination and communication. Whether it's messy arts day, a drumming workshop or a visit from the mobile farm there's always lots going on for children to take part in. Each year we support over 750 children and their families. Our work also provides a vital short break to families who are often exhausted from the demands of caring. Parents often describe Challengers as a lifeline and say that without such support family life would be likely to break down.
