Thank you so much to Dave Burwood-beames, saviour of unwanted bikes and kind donor to ASCape.
“The first donation to ASCape has been made today of £70 – thanks to those who donated their unwanted bikes and those who bought them. Please help me keep on doing this by not taking your unloved bike to the tip I will pick up and recycle that bicycle”.
We all know how difficult it can be to get our children into a new surroundings however fantastic. So for those parents/children who’s first time it is visiting Hooke or just if your child needs to re-visit the idea before they attend, we have a social story.
Please feel free to download and use as you need.

ASCape offers on an individual basis equine therapy via Eqanimity in Lyme Regis.
The work is very much tailored to your needs, e.g. to help with confidence, anxiety or fear issues, self-development, autism or learning difficulties and is available to 11+ years.
Each individual case must be presented to the committee. ASCape will fund 4 sessions. If it is appropriate ASCape will fund half the cost of an additional 4 sessions thereafter.
