UPS make donation for sensory
gardenUPS have presented Harpenden Mencap with a cheque for £14,263. This will go towards sensory equipment
that will engage young people - using sound, light, colour, vibration and tactile experiences. And there is also some money
that will go towards leisure opportunities, i.e. annual zoo pass, tent and camping equipment.
We were
delighted to receive the award. We were nominated by the Luton branch of UPS after they volunteered to build the sensory garden.
It is wonderful to see a huge, global company give back to the local community - from working hands on in volunteer hours,
to providing these awards.
