Ocean therapy sessions for neurodiverse children run by a Jersey charity are “making a difference”, parents say.
Healing Waves enables individuals with additional physical and neurological needs to access water sports.
Organisers of the charity said they wanted to find ways to ensure Healing Waves had sustainable funding to maintain this support in the long-term.
It has been nominated for the BBC Radio Jersey Make a Difference Awards for the work it has done since being launched in 2017.
Lynne Shenfine said her daughter was diagnosed with autism two years ago and struggled with social anxiety. She said the volunteers at Healing Waves were “the most incredible group of people” and her daughter “would always come out feeling more confident” after going to the sessions.
“Kids like my daughter really, really benefit from this type of therapy and, without support like this, then it is an isolated life,” Ms Shenfine added. She was one of the people who nominated the charity for the BBC Radio Jersey Make a Difference Awards.
