Bescura update!
As part of our commitment to supporting charitable initiatives, Aspire has been providing funding to Bescura Family Hubb, at Port Vale Football Club, a not-for-profit organisation that supports families, children of all ages, and members of the local community of Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas.
The Hubb is a 'one-stop shop' where individuals can access family support, drop-in sessions, training courses, information, and advice. Our Corporate Responsibility Workstream has liaised closely with the management at Bescura to understand their needs and to ensure our support provides maximum benefit to all those who rely on their services.
Recently, Bescura shared an update on how our funding has been used so far and the impact it has had on what they can offer to the community:
- During the summer holidays, children and their parents had free access to a range of fun activities, including sensory storyteller sessions for babies and toddlers, arts and creative sessions, and a superhero morning.
- The sensory room at Bescura is an amazing space for young babies and for children and adults with additional needs, but the equipment is delicate and has a relatively short shelf life. Bescura has been able to purchase new equipment to keep this important facility functioning.
- Bescura operates a baby bank for local families, providing them with essential items and equipment to keep their babies safe and well. With over 1,000 items per month requested, Aspire’s funding has helped to maintain supplies to this critical service.
During winter, Bescura expects demand for their services to increase. Aspire is committed to helping them meet this need and looks forward to supporting them, fostering a positive partnership that can make a real difference to a local community.
