Dyspraxia Week 2021

Play Your Part in Dyspraxia Week 2021 - October 10th – 16^th October 

We’d love you to get involved with Dyspraxia Week this year. We really need your help to raise maximise opportunities to raise awareness of dyspraxia, which is still a poorly understood and sometimes overlooked condition, whilst raising much-needed funds to support our vital work. All funds raised will enable us to continue supporting people affected by dyspraxia, at every stage in life.

Whether you have dyspraxia, are a family member, carer, empower, friend, professional or anything else, together, we can work to improve the future for people affected by dyspraxia.

Here are some ideas as to how you can get involved during this Dyspraxia Week:

Attend our Facebook Live events during the week.
Full details to be finalised soon but please *like* our Facebook page for notifications at: https://www.facebook.com/dyspraxiafoundation/

We are always looking for new volunteer coordinators to set up and lead our local groups for families and individuals. Take the opportunity of marking Dyspraxia Week and express your interest and contact Lisa about leading a group today.

Become a Friend of Dyspraxia 

Demand for our services is increasing and to continue our work we need support from people like you. By being part of our Friends scheme, simply by donating anything from £5 per month, you’ll be helping us to plan for the future with confidence, and to continue providing lifechanging advice and guidance to all those in need. Sign up here.

Donate your car in support of us with GiveACar. They’ll collect your vehicle, free of charge, and donate the proceeds to us. Complete this form and don’t forget to nominate us as the chosen charity.

Join our Lottery 

Our weekly lottery helps us to gain support and raise valuable funds, whilst giving players the chance to win a big cash prize. You can play for as little as £1 per week and 50p of every £1 you play is guaranteed to go straight to the Dyspraxia Foundation! So, for every £1 you play each week, you’ll have another chance to win prizes of up to £25,000. Don’t delay, join today! 

Pledge to undertake a fundraising challenge 
Dyspraxia Week provides you with the perfect opportunity to make a public commitment to raise vital funds and take on a challenge for the Dyspraxia Foundation. Living with dyspraxia can certainly be challenging and we are asking you, your friends, family, and/or colleagues to join with us and tell the world about dyspraxia by pledging to take on a fundraising challenge.  Whether it is the challenge of baking a cake for the first time, taking up knitting, skydiving out of a plane or doing your first 5k, 10k or marathon - you can either do your event doing Dyspraxia Week or make a pledge to take up a fundraising or sporting challenge later in the year. Tell us about your idea by emailing Vanessa,  finance@dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk and let us know how we can help. Good luck!
