Donate to Henshaws Children and Young People Matched Funding Appeal during August and they will offer you, as a thank you, a free visual impairment and awareness training program.
Between now and 31 August, every donation towards Henshaws work with Children and Young People, will be matched funded, by a local businessman. This means a donation of £25 would be worth £50, or a donation of £1,000 would be worth £2,000.

To join you need to be a resident of Levenshulme, Longsight or Gorton and be an expectant Mum, Dad or Carer or have a child under 2. Siblings are welcome to accompany you.
