Make a difference
Help Seashell make a difference to the lives of children and young people with complex needs. Seashell has a national reputation for the care and education we provide for children and young people who come to us from across the UK. Many of the students 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.
Fundraising events
We were delighted to see the return of our flagship fundraising event, Strictly Seashell this year! This year we upped the glitter and glamour in order to raise vital funds for the children and young people in our care. The event raised a staggering £200k for our Project Transformation, which will provide the children and young people at Seashell a safe and happy environment to achieve their potential.

Make an Online DonationIt 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.
