Ledbury Charity Appeal: Families Back Vital Fundraiser for Local Support

The Vital Role of Megan Baker House for Regional Families

Specialist neurological and motor condition support provided by Megan Baker House remains a lifeline for hundreds of people across the region. Individuals regularly travel from Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Shropshire to attend these transformative sessions. Families and staff have now united behind an urgent appeal to protect the charity’s ongoing operation.

Among those advocating for the facility is Simon, whose 11-year-old son Ollie has attended sessions at Megan Baker House for years.

It’s not just the sessions and what Ollie gets from it, it’s that sort of social network as well, Simon said.

The Threat of Losing Essential Community Services

The urgency behind the current fundraising campaign stems from a distinct lack of alternative local provisions for those living with complex neurological and motor difficulties. Families relying on the center point out that regional care gaps leave very few options for children and adults requiring this specialized intervention.

Without Megan Baker House there’s just no services available.
