Wates Developments are very excited to be partnering with the charity Kangaroos to deliver a new purpose built community hub as part of the proposals at Bolney. This new partnership is a real opportunity to maximise the benefits of the site in accordance with the proposed allocation in the Local Plan for both new homes and community benefits. It offers Kangaroos a vital platform to continue and grow their community outreach.
Operating since 1994, Kangaroos is a well-established charity within Mid Sussex who support children, teenagers and adults with severe learning disabilities and complex needs, by providing a supportive environment where their members can develop social and life skills to build confidence, self esteem and independence. Kangaroos also runs a family support programme, which gives families of members an opportunity to connect with one another in a supported environment. Kangaroos currently supports over 400 members in the local community, providing nearly 2,000 hours of activity, throughout the year.
