Hanwell-based St. Ann’s Foundation is looking for support from the community as part of its bid to win funding for a project.

To mark 25 years of providing life-changing technology, the charity Lifelites is offering to provide assistive technology, installation and training to support to 25 organisations.

The projects will be chosen partly based on the amount of support received in a public vote and St. Ann’s Foundation is asking people from the area to pick it.

Assistive technologies are critical tools in its classrooms and it aims to actively integrate innovative practices and technologies that support personalised learning paths for each young person.

This helps students enhance their communication skills and improve their engagement.

Its dedicated classrooms offer flexible environments where tailored learning can take place and these spaces are outfitted with various resources that facilitate hands-on learning, collaboration, and movement, allowing students to thrive academically and socially.

Voting for the Lifelites 25 Community Projects is open from 9am Monday 10 March to 9am Monday 24 March.

St Ann's School is a school focusing on children with special educational needs. The school caters to 110 secondary students.

The St Ann’s Foundation aims to provide additional resources beyond which those that are paid for by the council ensuring a comprehensive learning experience for them.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
