Here at Fairweather towers are crossing all our fingers and toes in support of Horizon Sports Club who we have entered into the Aviva Community Broker Fund. Insurance brokers have been frantically submitting details of worthy causes in their area in the hope they will benefit from some cash courtesy of Aviva (formally Norwich Union).
Horizon Sports Club is passionate about providing sports tuition to disabled children of school ages. This is a necessary service given that many disabled children are not fully (if at all) included in sports and PE lessons at school. As well as the fun of the activity the team-work and inclusive nature of the lessons helps develop the child’s communication and interaction skills. These clubs, although essential, are entirely reliant on funding and sponsorship from individuals and organisations and so we are really hoping that Horizons will do well.
In each category (of which there are five) there are three prizes. The first prize-winning charity / cause will walk away with a cool £15,000 with £2,500 going to second place and then five £1,000 prizes for runners up.
