Staff, volunteers, parents, children, and the chief executive of the Springboard Project met Horsham District Council (HDC) chairman Christian Mitchell on June 23.

Mr Mitchell said: “My Chairman’s theme this year is ‘One Horsham District, Fair for All’, and in keeping with my theme, one of my three chosen charities this year is the Springboard Project.

“I had great pleasure in meeting Nigel Scott-Dickeson, Chief Executive of Springboard Project. Springboard Project, a community based charity, gives something unique to families and children both inside and outside our district, offering inclusive play and leisure opportunities for families with young children and fun short breaks for children and teenagers with disabilities.
