Charity Meeting Needs has issued a call for participants in its first Softball Summer Slam as it aims to raise £30,000 to purchase an accessible minibus for the Strathmore School in London.
The tournament will take place on 4 July at Old Deer Park Sports Ground in Richmond and interested bodies can participate by providing teams or sponsorship.
Meeting Needs is supporting the event in association with the Lord’s Taverners. The Strathmore School is a day establishment for young people with complex learning difficulties, and when purchased, the minibus will be used to take pupils on trips away from the school.
“The Strathmore School minibus will be particularly important because is will be available for the wider local community to use during holidays, benefitting as many people as possible,” says Mervyn Ramsay of the Lord’s Taverners.
