Camp Mohawk
Camp Mohawk is a day centre for children with special needs, not only for
children’s to come to with there family but work with other charity's and disabled
children’s organisations to go to offering a range of activities for the children to
engage in. The camp have connections with lots of different boroughs offering
activity days for the children, doing activitys such as archery, bushcraft, nature
walks, cookery, swimming, crafts & camp fire circle. Not only offering the activitys
they have facilities that can be used such as sensory rooms, play areas for the
children & a swimming pool which can be used in the summer.
4. The club is to help children in the Berkshire area there facilities are
only available to people from the borough.
The ways in which they raise money for themselves is through the
Wargrave Rocks festival which this year is being held at Camp Mohawk.
All the money which is raised is going towards the up keeping of the
camp. Offering bands, face painting, food & use of all the activities
which are available to use at the camp.
CATS & HAWKS are youth projects which they have at the camp, CATS
(Children on the AuTistic Spectrum) an after school and holiday club
for autistic between the age of 8-13, getting helped with there life
social skills. How to act in a public place which somewhat they find
difficult. HAWKS is the same sort of project but for young adults, aged
between 13-25. Both these groups are based at the camp but the
activities that they do are all over Maidenhead, Reading & wokingham.
5. The Saturday Club
The Saturday club is a fortnightly run morning club for disabled
children and there families, ran by the RBWM (royal borough of
Windsor and maidenhead). Ran at Dedworth school near
Windsor. This offers a chance for the family’s to relax and have a
chat with other parents in there situation and relax whilst the
clubs workers do different activity's with them. Cooking
different food sometimes going out of the club to do different
activity's. The club is not only for the children, it is for the
familys and siblings to get a break from what may be a hectic
home life due to the disabled child taking up a lot of the parents
time.

7. Brower Youth Awards
The Brower youth awards is a ceremony to praise the young
people in North America who lead campaigns trying to raise
awareness for the environmental problems taking place in the
world today. The projects may effect worldwide but they will
mainly be in America. The awards ceremony is to praise those
who have had the initiative to do something about it and inspire
others to do the same. The idea of the group is to change the
people views on environmental issues. The people who are
involved who win the awards will be getting to know each other
on the trips the winners get to go on.

9. • Helen & Douglas House is a care home for children who are
disabled, either learning difficulties or physically, they cater for
the needs which there families may not be able to help with.
Not only do they support the child they have family rooms so
the children don’t feel alone & have there family's there to
support them.
• The service is free so families who have a lower income still
have somewhere were there children can be supoported and
looked after by professionals, the charity I not government
funded so the money which they put into paying for the
services is from external sources. It costs 4.5 Million pounds
per year on keeping the charity going.

11. • The video was trying to show the viewer what the place has to offer
and how the children can progress, the instrument being something
difficult to learn.
• This advert is partly to raise awareness for the campaign but mainly
to make people aware that it is there and how helpful there
resources and staff are to the children who are in need.
• The video will not strengthen a community but the way tht they put
the video across, it strengthens the confidence of the children who
are living at the helen douglas house.
• It is a campaign yes but not as such which is out there promoting
asking for loads of help it is just trying to do well by its cause with
help along the way, it provides information about hwat they can
offer from 3 different opinions. but also uses a story to go along with
the video of a single child who does attend.
• A boy who attends is interviewed and 2 workers from the place
aswell, the child who is interviewed to give a first hand experience
to the viewers wanting to know what they have to offer. The other
two are to back up and follow up on what the child has said also
explaining what he has achieved this gives the viewers wider view
across the campaign briefly from different standpoints.
