Children & adolescents with scoliosis can experience severe emotional and psychosocial difficulties, which can lead them to struggle with low self-esteem, bullying at school and body image disturbances. Due to all of this they find it hard to make friends and become part of a group.

We are pleased to announce that we have funded £3000 for the Scoliosis Association to organise the following social activities.

London – London Eye & Aquarium with lunch

Suffolk – Thetford Forest Go Ape (adventure course) with lunch

Bristol – Explore-At-Bristol Science Centre with lunch

Yorkshire – Leeds Karting Nation with lunch

Cardiff – Dr Who Exhibition with lunch.

Scotland – Edinburgh Zoo

Each trip will consist of ten children and ten adults from the county. These trips will enable the children to feel less isolated and gain confidence by seeing first hand how other children with there condition cope with taking part in the activities. We also hope that the parents will be able to form relationships with other parents from there own area and provide support to each other.
