As 2025 comes to a close, we’ve been taking a moment to reflect on what has truly been an incredible year for Nigel Prosser Foundation, and honestly, we couldn’t be prouder.
This year has been busy, emotional, inspiring and full of purpose. Thanks to the continued support of our community, donors and partners, we’ve been able to make a real, meaningful difference and provide Support For SEN families not just locally, but across the UK.
Funding We’ve Provided In 2025
Throughout 2025, we’ve funded specialist equipment and vital appointments that have helped ease everyday challenges for families, including:
- 6 Excel Elise specialist buggies
- A large sensory PVC rocking chair for a wheelchair-using little girl, giving her safe body freedom she had been craving
- A dietician appointment for a little boy with severe feeding differences
- Provided electric hob funding for a family, improving safety within the home
- 2 XL travel changing mats to support older children who need changing facilities when out in public
- 2 portable ramps for a wheelchair-using little boy, helping his family with access at home and transporting his wheelchair
We partnered a trial collaboration with Kidderminster Food Bank to create food parcels for SEN families who have children with feeding differences to help with the current cost of living. To give these families opportunities for food exploration without the financial strain food shopping already costs when having to factor in their child’s “same foods”. We will continue to monitor how this trail period goes and look at ways to support more families with this in 2026.
We’ve also funded lots of sensory equipment for families facing financial hardship – from weighted blankets and bubble tubes to fidget toys and calming aids.
Free SEN Events & Experiences Throughout 2025
Creating joyful, inclusive experiences has been so important to us this year. We hosted:
- A free SEN soft play session at Anchors Away Soft Play in January
- A free farm day experience at The Animal Pantry in August
Moments like these create memories, friendships and a sense of belonging for families who often feel overlooked.
Our SEN Support Group
Thanks to a grant from the National Lottery, we were able to set up our weekly SEN support group based in KidderMinster at Brookside Family Hub. What started as an idea has grown into a beautiful, kind and supportive community where SEN families come together, connect and support one another through our holistic approach as a charity. The connections formed here have been truly special.
Christmas Kindness
At Christmas, we ran our Secret Santa Dash for SEN families in Kidderminster. Families were nominated by loved ones, and we were able to deliver gifts kindly donated by Dunelm, Focus Financials (our bookkeepers) and The Station Inn pub. Seeing the joy this brought was unforgettable.
Wider Impact
We also donated to multiple GoFundMe campaigns supporting children with special educational needs, including specialist equipment for Wyre Forest School, Tediverse and more. Collaboration with other incredible organisations has helped us extend our reach even further.
What A Year It’s Been Cheers To 2026
Above all, 2025 has shown us that kindness, community and compassion really do change lives. We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way.
We have BIG plans for 2026, and we cannot wait to show you how Nigel Prosser Foundation continues to grow and support even more SEN families.
From the bottom of our hearts – thank you for being part of our journey.
We asked our trustees at the Nigel Prosser Foundation what they’d like to see on NPF’s bingo card for 2026…
Emma shared her hope that NPF becomes the go-to place for real breathing space for families — not support in theory, but genuine relief. She’d love families to say things like, “We could just be a family.”
Suzanne said she’d like to see NPF set up a monthly food exploration journey group in partnership with The Feeding Trust.
Ellie spoke about the importance of continuing to champion inclusion and belonging, so that children and young people with SEND feel truly included and valued in their local communities and schools. She also highlighted the need to keep promoting why this support matters in schools and how we can help shape positive futures.
As the founder, I shared my hope that NPF continues to grow while staying true to its heart — listening to families, responding to what they actually need, and building a community where no one feels alone. My aim is for NPF to be a place of trust, understanding and practical support, where families feel seen, heard and supported every step of the way.
