Tamil Special Children (TSC) UK started as a WhatsApp support group in October 2017 for UK-based Tamil-speaking parents who have children with learning difficulties and disabilities (including Autism, Down’s syndrome & Global Developmental Delay). The group registered as a charity in August 2020 (Charity Number: 1191001).

Some of the activities are:

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

Clubs (Yoga, Cooking, Art & Craft, Dance, etc.) for the families

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

Weekly slot on an online Tamil TV for the children to showcase talents and to develop confidence

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

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

Organising 4 face-to-face events annually (Charity Walk, Sports Meet, Fundraising Programme & Christmas Party) for the families

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.
