Story

Parents Consortium offer a Short Breaks Service for disabled children during the school holidays.The disabled children and young people who access our services will typically have one or multiple learning difficulties, complex health needs, physical or sensory impairment, challenging behaviour, Autism or severe ADHD. We offer 1-1 support for children that have more severe and complex needs. This will enable all children to have some fun and have something to look forward to in the holidays.

We will be able to take the children swimming, bowling, to the park or on a fun day out. These are things that many non disabled children take for granted. Our children will also be able to have a much needed break from the family and parents will get a break from the "Constant Cyle of Care".
