Hey there, amazing Aberdeen community!
We hope you are all enjoying the summer holidays! As many of you know, our A-ND Aberdeen Playscheme has been and continues to be a bustling hub of joy, fun creativity, and magic for our children and young people over the summer holidays.
We're reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request that could make a world of difference to the children and young people we support.
A Little Throwback to Last Year...
Last year, thanks to your incredible generosity, we were blessed with four fantastic tablets and iPads through our donation campaign. These devices have been a huge hit, used daily by our 56 wonderful children for everything from educational apps and communication aids to watching their favorite cartoons, films, and playing games. We are beyond grateful for your support!
The Current Situation
However, as you can imagine, with so many little hands using them, some of these devices have unfortunately broken. We’re now down to just one working iPad. While one is definitely better than none, managing with just one device when we have an average of 15 children per session can be quite challenging, despite our best efforts to encourage sharing and turn-taking.
How You Can Help?
We’re reaching out once again, hoping that you might have any functioning iPads or tablets that you no longer use. Your donations will be immensely appreciated and will go a long way in helping us ensure that every child at our Aberdeen Playscheme can enjoy their time here to the fullest.
Why Your Donation Matters?
Communication Aids: Many of our children use these devices to help with talking and communication.
Learning Tools: Educational apps are a fantastic way for kids to learn while having fun.
Entertainment: Watching their favorite cartoons, films, and playing games provides joy and relaxation.
How to Donate?
If you have any working iPads or tablets that you can donate, please email us at admin@a-nd.org.uk. We’re more than happy to cover any postage and packaging costs or arrange a convenient time for you to drop them off at our office on Carnie Drive, Aberdeen.
As a charity with very limited funds, we cannot afford to buy new or even second-hand devices, so your donations make an enormous impact. Every single donation is hugely appreciated and goes directly to supporting our fantastic kids.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our blog and considering our request. Your kindness and generosity keep our community thriving and our children smiling!
Warmest regards,
The A-ND Aberdeen Playscheme Team
