Often families raising a child with a Special Educational Need/Disability struggle to access mainstream activities within their community.This may be as a result of the level of disability and the subsequent lack of accessible or inclusive activities on offer to them and/or the financial difficulties a family may face.

Our Voice hope to fill this gap by offering free Fun Day sessions at a local fully accessible Special School/Centre for all the family one Sunday per month in term time only.

The Fun Days are an opportunity for families to meet in a safe and fun environment. For some this may be the only opportunity they have to leave their home and enjoy time together making links with other local families in a similar situation.

Our Voice is a parent/carer forum supporting families of children with disabilities living in Enfield. We are a parent led, pan disability organisation with a remit of working with families of children and young people aged 0-25. We have been piloting the Fun Days over the past year and seen attendance slowly growing but without additional funds we will be unable to continue to full roll out.

Many of our children and young people struggle to make friendships, often missing out on birthday parties and play dates. We hope by providing a regular session they can begin to build sustainable and long term friendships with their peer group.
