If you live in this area you might be eligible for funding for special needs. This can be for specific outings or trips but also in the running of private vehicles to ensure children and adults can attend schools and health care centres.
There is also often a requirement for special needs children funding for specific projects such as holidays, school trips or simply access to educational tools or fun activities, which otherwise would not be available to them.
