SNAPS present their deputation to Leeds City Council (all 99 Councillors) and the Executive staff.

SNAPS present their deputation to Leeds City Council (all 99 Councillors) and the Executive staff.

Just over a week ago SNAPS was finally given the opportunity to deliver their speech to a full council. The aim was to get the message out that SNAPS is available and is a vital resource for so many families in the city and this was done without council funding.
The SNAPS team comprised of Debbie Hingerton, Lewis Hingerton, Harriet Proud (Lewis’s carer), Malcolm Hall and Chris Eatwell.
Debbie, accompanied by Lewis delivered a powerful and heartfelt speech. The speech came over very emotionally, and boy did it hit home! A rousing round of applause and a standing ovation followed and some councillors were moved to tears. We were later told that this is a very unusual event. Chris Eatwell said, “it felt great to be able to give the Council the message so clearly that we didn’t want anything from them, but were there to help them deliver better services and support to families with children with additional needs”.
In addition to feeling very proud of our achievements we left with new friends and hopefully a platform which enables us to reach more children in the city.
