Make a difference through community fundraising
Help Seashell make a difference in the lives of children and young people with complex needs. Seashell has a national reputation for the learning difficulties support and education we provide for children and young people who come to us from across the UK. Many of our students with SEND and residents require one-on-one round-the-clock care from highly trained and dedicated staff who work hard to provide the best possible support. Help us to raise funds to ensure we provide the very best facilities and life experiences and continue supporting people with learning difficulties. Through fundraising methods such as charity event fundraising, we can continue to make a difference and continually improve our facilities.

With the help of charity event fundraising events, we are able to teach new skills and build confidence in children to set them up for success. Take a look below to see how Elliot’s life has changed with the help of Seashell’s school.
It was an enormous step to make such a big move to an entirely different part of the country but it was a brilliant decision and we have absolutely no regrets…without a doubt, the key to Elliot’s happiness and his successes at the school has been down to the care, skills, commitment and expertise of everyone there.
