About The Appeal

The Hydrosense Appeal has been launched by the newly founded Hydrosense Charitable Organisation in order to install new, purpose designed facilities at Barrs Court School which is Herefordshire’s only dedicated secondary phase school for children who have severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties. The Hydrosense Appeal is aiming to raise £1,000,000 in order to demolish a derelict building at the rear of the school and replace it with a new building in which will be housed:

• A hydrotherapy pool to help children and adults who have physical difficulties maintain good standards of mobility
• Purpose designed changing rooms that are suitable for profoundly disabled children and adults
• Trackway hoists that can transport disabled children and adults from the changing rooms and lower them carefully into the hydrotherapy pool with the minimum of discomfort
• An interactive drama studio so that children who are profoundly autistic, and/or multiply disabled can learn to interact and control their environment via the use of modern technology and also be empowered to participate positively in the performing arts

These new facilities will not be restricted for use just by children who attend Barrs Court School , but will also be open to members of the public who require specialist services such as hydrotherapy, but who are unable to access such specialist facilities locally. Donate Now
