Join us for free to access our support

When disability creates barriers to education, we step in.

We work with children who are out of school due to unmet special educational needs, providing structured groups, social connection and tailored education support. Our approach reduces isolation, rebuilds confidence and ensures families are not left navigating the system alone.

Family Support Service

Our Family Support Service is available during term time and offers both one-to-one support and in-person group sessions. Run by our experienced team and dedicated volunteers, our relaxed SEND support groups give parents and carers the opportunity to connect, share experiences, and access advice in a supportive and welcoming space.

We also invite guest speakers to cover specialist topics, helping families feel informed, empowered, and more confident navigating the challenges they face.
