WellChild Community helping hands project
We are delighted to announce that WellChild’s next Community Helping Hands Project will be delivered at the Llandough Children’s Assessment Centre (LCAC), which is part of the University Hospital Llandough.
Project Overview
This centre specialises in providing comprehensive assessments and care for children with various developmental, behavioural and medical needs. The centre offers a range of services, including diagnostic evaluations, therapeutic interventions and support for children and their families. The goal of the LCAC is to ensure that children receive the appropriate care and resources to support their development and well being.
What we will be using the money for
At the rear of the LCAC building, there is an unused and unsafe area of approximately 140m². This space, which includes an old patio, safety matting, and a grass area, has deteriorated over time. Currently, it is in a poor state of repair and is inaccessible to the children who visit the centre. Through the help of volunteers, our aim is to overhaul this space into a safe and accessible environment. This will involve the installation of ramps, level flooring and sensory equipment, benefiting up to 650 children every year.
Check out the live projects we're supporting
Sight Life Visually Impaired Photographers
Sight Life photography group, composed of blind and partially sighted individuals, has developed into a vibrant and creative community over the years. The members of this group have not only found a powerful means of self-expression through photography but have also produced works of exceptional quality that have been displayed at various exhibitions across Cardiff.
The Send Dynamic
Our aim is that parents of children with SEND will be empowered to understand their children’s rights and how to navigate the SEND education, health, and care system. We don’t want to reinvent the wheel and will always signpost you to other free services where they exist. We aim to make sure that everyone knows where to go for the best information and advice that is impartial and free.
The Cancer Support Centre
The hospitals look after the clinical needs and treatments of the body, but we look after the mind and the spirit – the emotional and psychological support that is really important to managing and coping, and being the best you can be whatever the situation or prognosis.
