Tamil Special Children (TSC) UK started as a WhatsApp group in October 2017 as a support group for Tamil-speaking parents who have children with learning difficulties/disabilities (including Autism, Down's syndrome & Global Developmental Delay). We registered as a charity in August 2020.

Some of the activities we are carrying out, free of charge, are:

* Regular/one-off training sessions delivered by professionals to empower families

* Weekly Clubs (Yoga, Cooking, Art & Craft, Dance, Spoken English, etc.) for the families

* Monthly parental workshops to share information, experience, and techniques (by the parents for the parents)

* Working with Tamil media and Tamil voluntary organisations to give opportunities to showcase the talents of the children and to remove social exclusion

* Monthly children's activities to work on the social and communication skills of children

* Face-to-face events like the annual sports meet

* One to one advisory support for parents struggling due to language barriers or personal circumstances

Despite all the activities and support, there is only one thought in the mind of each parent, every single day which is the future of the child and the concern of who will care for the child. Our charity's long-term target is to set up residential & supported living for our children, so their future is secure.

We need your help in making this dream come true! We will be grateful if you can donate to our charity walk. All donations will go towards the fund for setting up the gated community.
