Scopes4SEN are a fantastic charity that donates telescopes to organisations that support children with special educational needs or disabilities and vulnerable young adults. It was founded by Patrick Poitevin and his late wife Joanne and has distributed over 1100 telescopes as of March 2021, often with accompanying materials and accessories.
Donate
The charity accepts and is very appreciative to receive financial donations, telescopes that they refurbish before sending on, and educational materials relating to astronomy. It’s a very worthwhile cause and worthy of your support.
