Safe space for Harry.
Donation protected
*UPDATE*
After researching further into safe spaces for Harry, i came across an alternative place that have made an updated (and even more future proof) design.
I came across this when i was looking for a travel version and had found a travel version (from this same place) that would be amazing to have due having no where that is equipped to have him over night. No respite and No holiday since he grew out of travel cots in 2011!
This design was made to be able to be assembled and disassembled yourself which means if we move house in the future it will not need adjustments to fit.
Harrys design would include a double mattress built into the base to stop lifting and entrapment fitted with bite resistant super tough cover. Also anti bac lacquer on all of the inside walls to aid cleaning and hygiene associated with smearing.
For the 8k (that the old quote would have cost.) we could get a permanent safe place for Harry to sleep in at home as well as a travel version that would enable respite and the enjoyment of family holidays that we cannot currently have!
Many thanks for reading the update below is videos of details.
Harry is 6 years old and has servere Autism. His Autism causes him to be globally delayed. He has the mental development of less than 12 months with the strength of a 6 year old.
Harry cannot talk or communicate at all and has very little understanding. He tends to not like toys or food but does like to pull things apart into tiny pieces and eat anything he can eat that is not edible. This often includes wallpaper, carpets, cushions, nappies and anything that he can turn into pieces or already small enough to eat.
He has to be watched 24/7 not only because he will eat everything he should but he has no danger awareness due to not understanding which needs him to have someone with him all the time to keep him safe.
Harry is also a smearer, i have spent 100's of pounds buying unstrippable vests that have not worked for Harry as he is hypermobile and will get to his nappy no matter what!
Harry can be awake for a few hours before falling to sleep and can wake alot in the night. Having this equipment would mean Harry will be safe to be left and i could sleep a little easier!
This is just for night time use only when i cannot watch him and this is most likely to be needed for his lifetime as he can't use a normal bed.
If you would like anymore info please do contact me. You can also like our facebook page and ask for more information there! :)

I am trying to raise money for a safe space for my son Harry to sleep in.
Harry is my very lovely ,happy and very special 6 year old son with the mental development of less than 12 months. He cannot communicate and has very little understanding.
This safe space will keep Harry completely safe through the nights. It has padded walls that he cannot hurt himself on, and he will not be able to touch anything he should not touch like pulling carpets apart and picking paint off the walls and eating it. He will not be able to touch wires or plugs and will not be able to pull furniture etc on himself! He is also a smearer and these safespaces are very easy to clean it off.
This safe space can even be used when Harry is a adult, so it is very future proof. The safe space is a padded room in a room and the padding is much better for Harry as he is not aware of danger.
I will be trying to ask some charities for help but for this price it is unlikely to recieve any where near the whole amount, may as well start the ball rolling!
Thank you so much for any help, this will benefit Harry for most of his life and will be such a safer and comfier place for him to sleep. Also more sleep for me knowing he is safe even when he wakes in the night!
