Welcome to Mindroom
A charity dedicated to helping children and adults with learning difficulties
Why?
Did you know that there are at least 5 children in every class with some form of learning difficulty who will then grow into adults with learning difficulties?
Who?
Whether you are a child, a parent, a relative, a teacher or any other professional, it doesn't matter. It's for you.
How?
Mindroom's goal is to create such awareness that, by the year 2020, all children and adults in this country with learning difficulties will receive the recognition and help they need.
We will achieve this by:
- Offering direct help and support
- Arranging high profile conferences
- Setting up multi-disciplinary diagnostic centres
- Setting up specialist schools
Support Nigel and Mindroom in Vasaloppet in Sweden
Nigel McHollan took part in Vasaloppet - the oldest, longest and biggest ski race in the world - to raise funds for Mindroom and completed 90kms in 10 hours, 31 minutes and 40 seconds. A fantastic achievement, well done Nigel!
Vasaloppet takes place in Sweden, in fact it is part of the Swedish national soul and a much loved and respected event. The 90 kilometre cross country ski race attracts 15,000 skiers from around the world every year.
