OUR AIMS

The aim of this service is not only to enable families to have a break, but also to work with their child in helping them to develop new interests and access new activities, thereby increasing both their experience and confidence in different situations. Our staff will look at accessible existing community activities which your child has the potential to participate in, with the aim of introducing them to interests which can be maintained over the long term.
