We just want to say a HUGE thank you to the incredible organisations who supported our SEND Funday 💙
With your help, we created a truly special day filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable moments for children, young people, and families.
While we experienced a few hiccups, it’s given us valuable learning to take forward. We’re listening carefully to feedback and using it to shape future events so they can be even better for everyone.
For example, future events will not include bouncy castles, sign-ins will take place before the event, and there will be limited numbers or timed sessions to ensure a more enjoyable experience for all families.
We’re sorry to those who didn’t find the event as helpful as we’d hoped. This was our first event at this scale, and we are committed to improving.
That said, it doesn’t take away from the fun that was had—and we’d like to give a massive thank you to:
✨ – for contributing towards the majority of activity costs
✨ Sunderland Council
✨ Gentoo
✨ Together for Children, Wear Here 4 Spring – HAF Programme
✨ Department for Education
✨ Sunderland Parent Carer Forum – for donating towards our Easter eggs
✨ National Lottery Community Fund
✨ ASDA Leechmere – for their time and snacks
✨ Asda Boldon – for donating Easter eggs
✨ Heron Foods Shiney Row – for donating Easter eggs
✨ Morrisons
✨ Tesco – for donating sweets
And of course, all of the amazing activity providers and stallholders who made the day so fun, informative, and memorable.
Your support made a real difference and brought our community together in the best possible way—we couldn’t have done it without you!
Here’s to even more amazing events in the future 🙌
