Flyers for drop-in sessions in Middlesbrough for parent/carers of autistic/ADHD/FASD children.

There is no diagnosis required to access the drop-in sessions or any support. They can also offer support to parent's who have children with sensory differences.

The Teesside Family Foundation have very kindly set up a Just Giving page to help fundraise for the repairs.

💔 PLEASE HELP US GET PRIORY WOODS’ MINIBUSES BACK ON THE ROAD 💔

I am absolutely heartbroken and angry writing this.

Three minibuses at Priory Woods School and Arts College in Middlesbrough have been badly damaged.

Just look at the photographs.

Smashed windows. A destroyed windscreen. Damage inside the vehicles.

One of these minibuses is particularly close to our hearts — The Teesside Family Foundation contributed £30,000 towards it.

But this isn't about £30,000.

IT'S ABOUT THE CHILDREN. ❤️

Priory Woods supports children with special educational needs and disabilities, and these buses are not a luxury.

They are a lifeline.

They get children to and from school and allow them to experience the things every child deserves — the beach, the woods, the theatre, theme parks, school trips and days out.

They provide freedom, inclusion, independence and memories.

And with the children due back at school next week, three of those lifelines are now off the road.

So we're doing what Teesside does best.

WE'RE COMING TOGETHER. ❤️

We've launched a JustGiving appeal to help Priory Woods get these vital minibuses repaired or replaced and back where they belong — supporting the children.

🙏 PLEASE DONATE — WHATEVER YOU CAN AFFORD.

£5. £10. £20. Every single donation will help.

And if you can't donate, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST.

Whoever did this may have smashed the windows.

BUT WE WILL NOT LET THEM TAKE AWAY THESE CHILDREN'S OPPORTUNITIES.

Let's show Priory Woods what this community is made of.

LET'S GET THEIR BUSES BACK ON THE ROAD. 🚌❤️

During the evening on Thursday, between 6:00pm and 7:30pm, two individuals repeatedly returned to our school site and vandalised three of our five minibuses.

The result of their actions is that, at the start of the new school year, many of our pupils may be unable to access trips, activities and community experiences that are such an important part of their education and development. With only two minibuses remaining available for the start of term, our ability to provide these opportunities will be significantly affected.

As a Special Educational Needs school, our minibuses are not a luxury. They are essential. They enable our students to access opportunities beyond the classroom, develop independence and take part in experiences that many people take for granted.

The damage caused includes smashed windows, damaged lights and significant vandalism inside the vehicles. The cost of repairing this damage will ultimately divert valuable resources that would otherwise be spent supporting the young people we are here to serve.

If you have any information that may assist, please contact the school or Cleveland Police. The incident was captured on CCTV and all footage has been supplied to Cleveland Police.

What has happened is far more than vandalism. It is our pupils who will pay the price through missed opportunities and disrupted experiences at the start of the school year.

If you are able to share this post within the local community, we would be extremely grateful.
