We provided £9,282 to Edinburgh Leisure to support their ASN Family Swim sessions at Gracemount Leisure Centre. This grant helps deliver dedicated, quiet pool sessions with warmer water and trained staff, ensuring children with disabilities and Additional Support Needs can swim safely alongside their families.

Quote from Dolina: “We are incredibly grateful for the support of the Children’s Alliance. Your funding has helped us create welcoming, inclusive opportunities where children and young people with additional support needs can thrive, while giving families the chance to connect, have fun and make lasting memories together.”
