Grantham Sunrise Rotary Club sponsors an exciting day for young students with learning difficulties

Pupils with learning difficulties experienced the thrills of a theme park thanks to a Rotary grant recently.

Grantham pupils from the Young People's Learning Provision (YPLP) enjoyed a day at Wicksteed Park, funded by the Sunrise Rotary Club.

Fifteen young people, who attend YPLP on Trent Road, experienced the fun of the fair at the theme park, many for the first time.

"It was wonderful to see everyone have such a fun day out," remarked Lez Jones, president of the Sunrise Club.

He and President-Elect Praf Patel accompanied the pupils and their teachers.

"Some of these youngsters have never visited a theme park before, and it was our privilege to take them on such an experience," said Lez.

Students enjoyed multiple rides, including the water chute, and made memories that will last for years.

YPLP serves young people with learning difficulties and disabilities, helping them fulfil their potential outside mainstream schooling.

The Rotary Club's annual 'Kids Out' day aims to create joyful experiences for children who may not have the opportunity otherwise, and this year's outing was a resounding success.
