Based on the outcome of an initial assessment of needs, we can provide a range of services to help suit your needs.
The services we provide include:

- Short breaks away from home for your child.
- Access to an activity scheme that provides social and recreational opportunities during school holidays.
- The provision of youth clubs and befriending throughout the year.
- Information about benefits and support with applications.
