| A centre providing unique support for people with special needs will be able to help even more young people following a boost from Maidenhead Rotary Club. The club’s community and youth committee has made a £1,000 grant to the Thames Valley Adventure Playground (TVAP) in Taplow, which will be used to fund activities for families with children aged under 21. TVAP is a charity offering adventurous, therapeutic and educational play activities in a safe, caring and stimulating environment for both children and adults with all types of disability. It helps more than 30,000 people a year and has annual running costs of £350,000, just five per cent of which comes from local authority grants. Community and youth committee chairman Jim Howles said: “Because of Covid we have not been able to support Maidenhead’s youth as we would normally. It was decided we should make this donation in lieu of other activities. |  “As the donation comes from our youth charity budget we have asked that the money is used to assist families with younger children at TVAP.” Reama Shearman, TVAP’s engagement manager, said: “I want to say a heartfelt thank-you. The support of all at Maidenhead Rotary Club is much appreciated.” |
