Sunshine School

1990 September - 1995 April

Created by Mum and Dad 15 years ago
Back in London Jill started the program again with the help of many people. However we were also immediately under pressure to send Moira to school. We could not find one – although Jill visited many right across the UK – until she walked into the RNIB ‘Sunshine’ school for the blind – in East Grinstead. In this school, which cared for many blind multiple handicapped small children, there was a different ethos – one that was aimed at getting these children to participate in LIFE. It was there we met another fantastic group of people, including Eironwy, Louise, Lucy, Sean and others. Moira participated in bottom shuffling down stairs, learnt the pleasures of gate trainers, chariots, pushing herself in her wheelchair but more importantly, to participate in ordinary life – washing, eating, dressing and participating with others.
