Support #TeamDyspraxia at Parallel London this Sunday!
We are proud that so many people are taking part, spreading dyspraxia awareness, this Sunday in Parallel London. If you haven’t heard Parallel London is the first fully-inclusive mass participation event, taking place around the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London, with a variety of distances in the accessible fun run, 10km, 5km, 1km and 100m with an sensory 1km too!
#TeamDyspraxiaHQ Nearly there – we have our running shoes on ready! The Hitchin Team have been truly inspired by our wonderful friends and supporters and have decided to get out from behind our desks and put our feet firmly on the ground to run for #dyspraxia on 3 September in Parallel London! We know only too well the difference our helpline makes to the people who call every so we are determined to help keep our services going. The helpline was originally funded by The Big Lottery but has been reduced in hours and moved into our main office in Hitchin with only space for one helpline volunteer to lend a listening ear. The most important thing is that it still exists! Parallel London is a fully accessible fun run and free family festival at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Sunday, 3 September 2017. There’s a 10km, 5km, 1km, 100m and the Super Sensory 1km. All ages and abilities. No cut off times. Everybody running side by side. CEO, Eleanor Howes says “This is my first ever run and I am very proud to say that Jo and Alex are joining me along with my husband Tony and Alex’s daughter Kate. Please support our efforts.” https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/dyspraxiahq
Fellow supporters and friends will be joining us including youth members Natalie Williams and Claire Bradfield along with:
Youth member and blogger Rosie, her boyfriend and trustee Matt and Rosie’s mum, Eileen are challenging themselves to the full 10k distance. Rosie has written a blog about her personal experiences and why she is walking for anxiety and dyspraxia, you can read her blog here. Both Rosie & Matt have been featured on the Parallel website too! Please read their JustGiving page and feel free to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/teams/MattRosie17

Dyspraxia Awareness Week 2017 – Survey
Dyspraxia Awareness Week 8th – 14th October 2017
We are carrying out a survey to explore teachers’ and teaching assistants’ understanding of dyspraxia/developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and how this affects children’s learning opportunities at school. You can complete this survey if you are a teacher or teaching assistant at a school in the UK. We will share findings from this survey and will also be launching new resources to support primary-aged children with dyspraxia/DCD during Dyspraxia Awareness Week 2017. Thank you for completing this survey!
