Our sessions also help children connect with one another and feel a unique sense of belonging that they might not feel in mainstream environments.
Befriending
Our Befriending service is a well established provision which links Disabled children and young people with a volunteer ‘buddy’. This 1:1 support is for those who may find group sessions more difficult and offers an opportunity for your child to go out and about with a volunteer who can help support with developing independence and self confidence.
