Our Special
Computer Appeal
The London Jewish
Family Centre is creating a unique computer facility for special
needs children and children with specific learning disabilities.
The computers will
be used regularly at our integrated Fun Days by the special needs
children of STEP North West and Kisharon.
Special needs children
including those with Autism, Downs and other syndromes, require
computers with special modifications in order to reach their maximum
potential.
We have been in
touch with the Aidis Trust (who specialize in advising and providing
computers and accessories for special needs children and adults)
and have taken advice on the best computers and accessories to
buy.
The cost of each
computer, special mouse, keyboard with keyboard guard and flat
screen is £988. Add to that the cost of a new server, printers,
and the installation costs and we are looking at a total bill
of £13,500 for a facility of 10 computers.
Once these computers
are in place we will be able to offer further facilities –
like homework clubs - for all children, which will further help
the families in Barnet, Enfield and Harrow.
Within an annual
budget of £200,000, of which 85% is raised by donations,
there is no room for providing a facility of this kind. We hope
you will help us make this building into the Centre that the community
needs and deserves.
We look forward
to your generous support!
