The Butterfly Club aims to provide a holiday club for the children of James MacFarlane and Haysholm special needs schools to reduce their isolation, improve their quality of life and to support them to be able to take part in activities other children take for granted.  They are a constituted, non-profit making voluntary community group and a registered charity, formed by the parents of these schools.
 
There was over £6,000 raised for the kids in last year’s event and it would be great if even more could be raised this year. For full details of the Butterfly Club’s work, activities and fundraising please visit http://www.butterflyclub.org
