A CHARITY based in Bridgwater was targeted by vandals over the weekend.

The national charity Brainwave, which provides therapy assessments and teaching for parents and carers of children with disabilities, had paint thrown across its car park, office windows and one of its vehicles.

Shattered glass was also found across the site, which they say created a dangerous environment for visitors, especially children with disabilities and additional needs that they work so hard to support.

The charity, which has reported the incident to the police, says it has clear CCTV footage of those responsible.

A spokesperson said: “This senseless act has taken up valuable staff time – time that should be spent helping children reach their potential.

“All the funds we raise are carefully used to provide our vital services, and now we must divert valuable resources to repair the damage caused.”

They added: “Times are already difficult for us as a charity and the families we support and acts like this make it even harder for us to continue our work.

“If you feel able to support us in any way – whether through donations, spreading the word, we would be deeply grateful.

“Thank you to everyone who walks alongside us on our journey to support children with disabilities and additional needs to reach their potential.”
