A VOLUNTARY group that offers support for carers of disabled children throughout the county has benefitted from a Community Matters scheme being run by Waitrose.
Representatives from the Northamptonshire Parent Forum Group (NPFG) were invited by the supermarket in Wooton to collect a cheque. NPFG participated in the Green Token Community Matters project and Waitrose customers kindly raised £170 for the group.
Jane Marriott, NPFG’s treasurer, said: “The funds are gratefully received and will be used to support the upcoming SummerSENDsation family fun day for children with additional needs and/or disability, taking place on Sunday September 13 at Northampton College.”
NPFG represents parent carers of disabled children and young people up to the age of 25 living in Northamptonshire. Formed in 2012, the forum is one of 153 parent carer forums in the UK and is a member of the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF).
