In 7 years Scopes4SEN raised a wonderful total of £81778.86 - which is over £11000 a year. With this funding Scopes4SEN bought (and still buys) telescopes. Scopes4SEN donates telescopes to UK based locations who cater special educational needs, handicap and vulnerable. Schools, hospitals, retreat centres, organisations, home schooling SEN families, etc.
In many cases Scopes4SEN donates additional educational material, such as Binoculars, electronic microscopes, Astronomy KITs, SunOculars, Eclipse glasses, books, etc, etc. Thanks to the goodwill of so many generous sponsors. Scopes4SEN also receives telescopes from sponsors and individuals who do no longer wishes to keep theirs.
Jo and I started with the idea of donating one telescope a month …. In 7 years Scopes4SEN donated a total 1600 telescopes - which is at least one telescope every other day! And many, many more to go. Scopes4SEN received lately quite substantial funding. A result of many applications and reports done a few months ago.
