The Big Refurbishment

We're refurbishing our centre in Horsham to create a dedicated, inclusive space for Sussex families, especially those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

​

Springboard has always focused on breaking down barriers, whether social, financial or physical. The refurbishment will ensure Springboard House fully reflects a warm, welcoming and respectful environment that is usable by everyone.   

​

While Springboard’s services have grown in scale, complexity and ambition since the charity was founded in 1992, the building has not kept pace. Decades of incremental adaptations have resulted in a well-loved space that is increasingly stretched, compromised and mismatched to the needs of those it serves.

​

Every donation to Springboard helps move us closer to this goal, while also supporting families who need guidance, reassurance and practical help today.

The total refurbishment cost is £1.6 million. We know this ambition will take time, which is why we have created a three-phase plan:

1. A redesigned garden, sensory cabin, multi-use barn and training kitchen.

2. Young adults’ training and social space, a Lego and gaming room.

3. A drop-off point, reception, soft play, sensory room and family space.

​

We have already made a strong start, but we cannot achieve our goals without your support. By donating today, you will make a difference, change a life and create a community.
