Fundraising Clay Pigeon Shoot will raise money for children's charity Brainwave
Businesses and individuals are being urged to support a fundraising Clay Pigeon Shoot which is being held at The Royal Berkshire Shooting School, Pangbourne, near Reading on 19 September starting at 9.15am. The event is being held in aid of children's charity Brainwave which supports children with disabilities.
Set in spectacular grounds, this will be a fantastic day out with friends and family, or perfect for client entertaining. There are a wide range of stands each manned by an instructor from the School, making the event suitable for both amateurs and experts alike.
Brainwave is inviting you to reserve your team for this great event. It is just £1,250 for a team of four people. This includes the whole day's event: breakfast, shooting and clays, mid-morning snacks, competitions with fantastic prizes, and a three course meal including drinks.
All funds raised will directly support Brainwave's invaluable work with disabled children as the charity celebrates 30 years of helping children reach their full potential.
Brainwave works with families to deliver home based individual therapies and exercises to help children with disabilities and Developmental Delay reach their full potential. That potential might be anything from a child sitting or walking to feeding themselves or counting. The children on the programme have a range of conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, genetic conditions including Down's Syndrome, as well as Autism or General Development Delay.
Families are invited to attend an Initial Assessment where the whole family is assessed and a Programme tailor made for that child developed. The parents are then shown how to deliver that Programme, which they undertake at home, returning to the Centre every 4-6 months for it to be adjusted as the child progresses.

The Brainwave Centre in Somerset was set up in 1982 and Brainwave has also two further Centres in Witham, Essex and in Birchwood, Warrington as well as satellite clinics in Ireland and Scotland so that families can access Brainwave wherever they are based in the UK.
