Absolutely brilliant that the industry is being recognised and the benefits becoming known to people

👉Massage is back in the headlines with The Guardian asking how healthy massage really is and spotlighting its role in supporting people living with pain, cancer, long term conditions, anxiety and sleep problems. It is a rare piece of mainstream coverage that actually acknowledges touch as part of healthcare, not just a spa extra. 

For GCMT council members who support you, the therapist, this is a reminder that what you do is skilled work. A well trained, thoughtful, evidence informed therapist can offer so much more than ‘just a massage’, helping clients feel safer in their bodies, less overwhelmed and better supported alongside wider medical care. Let us keep showing the public what safe, compassionate, professional touch really looks like.

How is funded ?

Many parents believe we are completely KCC funded and are surprised to hear that this is not the case.
Based on 2024 costs:
Pegasus applies for Charities funding and does fundraising to sourcing the £70,000 needed to operate is a real challenge. Every possible grant and funding application is applied for but sadly we are often not successful as the call on funds from charities is so high. Due to the rising prices of all activities and resources needed to run, we have had to increase the price per day for the children attending to £40 each. In reality, the price per individual to attend is £104 per day. This amount appears to be a reasonable cost to ensure the running of the scheme which equated to £73, 349.13

For summer 2026 , need to raise £76,000

Who uses ?
The scheme was welcomed back once again to our usual venue at Astor School in Dover – this is a central venue for most of our clients who come from the local towns. In 2024c children have come from the following areas: Dover Deal Herne Bay Folkestone Hythe Canterbury Dymchurch Whitstable 1 . Whilst historically we have largely been a scheme with children and young people attending from Dover and Deal, we have found that due to the lack of alternative provision in the local area that we are now taking people from a much wider area .
Due to volunteer and child ratios, we aim for between 10 and 12 children in each group each day – however not all children attend for every day – their varying needs are such that for some, everyday attendance can be too over stimulating so instead, the child coordinator attempts to fill every space so we can take over the 10/12 . A total of 45 children benefitted from attendance on the scheme this summer (2024)

How did Pegasus Playscheme start ?

We are a voluntary not for profit organisation with charity status, No 299301.

Established in 1986, when a group of parents disheartened by the lack of provision for their own children with disabilities formed Pegasus. It has grown into a well-established community voluntary scheme.
Our scheme benefits children and young adults aged between 8yrs and 21yrs with disabilities, access facilities not provided anywhere else in the area. We help our children develop independence. Whilst keeping them active and healthy. We use sport and exercise to strengthen communities and provide opportunities for people who are excluded or disadvantaged.
Enabling not only the local children with disabilities to engage in active pursuits but encouraging the local teenage youth to volunteer their time
