A new charity providing therapeutic education for children and young people with special educational needs is holding its first fundraiser.

Luccombe Hub is a PTA-style charity supporting the work of The Luccombe Hub in Milton Abbas (luccombehub.com). The Luccombe Hub is an alternative provision for youngsters with autism spectrum disorders, attachment conditions, ADHD, and an array of social, emotional, and mental health difficulties which mean they do not thrive in mainstream education.

The hub provides a gentler solution, with the help of animals and dedicated staff providing a ‘therapeutic and nurturing approach to learning which plays to strengths rather than difficulties’.
The charity formed last year just before the pandemic, so organisers were thwarted in their fundraising efforts. However, on July 3 they are set to hold an open day and family fundraiser.

The day will include a summer Pimm’s bar, Arctic Cow ice cream, a smoothie and juice bar, a food van serving breakfast and lunch, massage tasters, freshly made cakes and animals from Luccombe Hub Farm.

There will be a class timetable to live DJ sets, gym tours, fitness testing, fun challenges and a raffle. There will be live music from Echohead Band. Visitors are asked to bring lots of spare change!
