At the Lancashire Outdoor Activities Initiative (LOAI) and Anderton Centre, we are committed to delivering inclusive, life-changing outdoor experiences for people of all ages and abilities. From exhilarating watersports to team-building adventures, our mission is to provide accessible opportunities for everyone, including children and adults with additional needs. This vital work is only made possible through the generous support of our partners, donors, and fundraising efforts, and we are proud to announce that we are now officially registered with the Fundraising Regulator.
What Does It Mean to Be Registered with the Fundraising Regulator?
Being registered with the Fundraising Regulator means that we have committed to maintaining high standards in all our fundraising activities. It ensures that our donors and supporters can trust that every penny raised is handled responsibly, ethically, and transparently. The Fundraising Regulator sets out clear guidelines that protect both donors and charities, ensuring that our fundraising practices are fair, respectful, and open.
This accreditation is not just a badge of honour; it is a promise to all our stakeholders. Whether you’re an individual donor, a corporate sponsor, or one of our many community partners, you can be confident that your contribution is being used effectively to support the people and causes that matter most.
Why This Matters for Our Work with Children and Adults with Additional Needs
The Anderton Centre is a beacon of opportunity for people who might otherwise struggle to access outdoor activities due to financial barriers, disabilities, or additional needs. Whether it’s a school trip for children with special educational needs, a respite weekend for families, or a leadership programme for adults with disabilities, our activities are carefully designed to be inclusive, empowering, and life-enhancing.
However, the true magic of our work is only possible through the backing of our supporters. It’s thanks to the generosity of our partners, donors, and fundraisers that we can continue to deliver these vital services. Without this support, many of the individuals we serve would miss out on opportunities that boost their confidence, independence, and well-being.
Your Support Changes Lives
Every donation we receive helps us make a direct impact on the lives of those we serve. From improving accessibility around the centre to providing specialised equipment and training for our instructors, fundraising allows us to continue expanding our offer to meet the growing demand from individuals and groups with additional needs.
Whether it’s hosting an inclusive outdoor learning experience for a group of young people or creating tailored programmes for adults facing physical and mental challenges, your support makes it all possible. By working together, we ensure that no one is left behind.
