WellChild Community helping hands project
We are delighted to announce that WellChild’s next Community Helping Hands Project will be delivered at the Llandough Children’s Assessment Centre (LCAC), which is part of the University Hospital Llandough.
Project Overview
This centre specialises in providing comprehensive assessments and care for children with various developmental, behavioural and medical needs. The centre offers a range of services, including diagnostic evaluations, therapeutic interventions and support for children and their families. The goal of the LCAC is to ensure that children receive the appropriate care and resources to support their development and well being.
What we will be using the money for
At the rear of the LCAC building, there is an unused and unsafe area of approximately 140m². This space, which includes an old patio, safety matting, and a grass area, has deteriorated over time. Currently, it is in a poor state of repair and is inaccessible to the children who visit the centre. Through the help of volunteers, our aim is to overhaul this space into a safe and accessible environment. This will involve the installation of ramps, level flooring and sensory equipment, benefiting up to 650 children every year.
