We launched Nandom SNAP 💚
Today we welcomed disabled children and their parents to Nandom Inclusion Centre, for the very first time.
48 children came with a parent/carer, they laughed and played whilst the adults talked and supported each other.
This is the start of a huge journey for ATE in Nandom. We can’t wait to tackle inclusion, to make life better for these children.
Best of all, our fantastic team did it brilliantly. A new start, a new challenge. We are so excited to be doing this important work.
Friday night saw the gala dinner at the end of another incredible #GammaBallRally. This year, in beautiful Bordeaux!
A massive thank you to Gamma and their amazing events and marketing team who put together a perfect event, the generous sponsors Akixi, Dubber, Nuvias UC & Xantaro, and every single person who made it such a special and well supported night.
The #GammaBallRally has meant everything to us over the years. Since the very beginning of ATE they've been by our side. The donations raised over the years have made it possible for us to grow, to be secure, and to ultimately change thousands of lives for the better. We simply couldn't have done it without this community of completely brilliant people.
Thank you to everyone who makes it so special. We are so incredibly grateful!
A huge shout out to our friends at SpecialEffect, the other charity supported by the Rally. They do truly wonderful work to enable everyone with disabilities to access technology - it is humbling and inspiring to hear about their life changing work and the difference the Rally makes to them.
We’ve moved in!
It’s been a huge week of training, organising, packing and moving - and we’re so excited to now be in our Nandom Inclusion Centre!
Doors open to the community on Monday, we can’t wait to start making a difference.
Thanks to our super star team for working so hard this week (and always!) 💚
