We
are a group of parents who support each other as we go through the often difficult
experience of supporting our children who have often 'hidden'
difficulties, whilst at the same time trying to find our way
through seemingly insurmountable obstacles to enable us to
access advice, activities and help.
Within our group
are Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters,
friends and anyone who finds themselves in a supporting role
with a child with Dyspraxia and related conditions.
We
are not a registered charity, we are classed as a voluntary group. We
are independently funded which means that we have to apply for funding from
various organisations that award funds to charities and groups. We
accept donations, and also raise money with various fund raising
activities either individual or as a whole group.
In
order to administer FDK's funds properly we have a committee who are elected
every year at the Annual General Meeting.
Our
current committee is
Helen - Secretary
Liz - Chair
Gillian
- Treasurer/Librarian
Bernie
- Teacher Training
Contribution
Chris - Toy Library
Jenny - committee member
In
addition Marie has kindly agreed to be responsible for refreshments on
fun nights.
Although
we have set activities such as parent support meetings and fun nights
for the children our members (including non-committee members)
are very active through the group at various times and in many
ways as listed in
