Can you challenge yourself to help raise funds to support Seashell’s mission?
Our aim is to support as many children and young adults with complex disabilities as possible. This enables them and their families to live their best lives and access our essential services. But, we need your help.
Every day the children and young adults at Seashell face significant challenges, but thanks to the care, education and encouragement from our dedicated teams and volunteers, they can meet those challenges and achieve their goals.
Fundraising for disabled young people through our challenge events is a fun and engaging way to enable Seashell to provide the best life experiences, specialist support and vital equipment needed to enhance and enrich the lives of our children. Our children and young adults face challenges every day, so why not challenge yourself to raise money and change their lives?
