SEND & Community Support Services.
Children, Young People & Adults with SEND
Our services support individuals with SEND at all stages of life, with a strong focus on key transitions, including:
- Preparing for adulthood
- Developing greater independence in adulthood
- Moving from education into employment, volunteering, or further training
We support individuals who benefit from:
- Structured, predictable environments
- Sensory-aware and trauma-informed support

A core element of our work is supporting young people and adults with SEND to prepare for the world of work, through:
- Supported volunteering placements
- Preparation for supported internships
- Employability and workplace readiness skills
- Building confidence, routine, and workplace stamina
Parents & Carers
We provide dedicated support for parents and carers, recognising the emotional, mental, and practical pressures that can arise, particularly during times of change.
Our support includes:
- Training and information sessions
- Peer support and facilitated group discussions
- In-person and virtual meet-ups
- Opportunities to connect with professionals and services
This support helps reduce isolation, promote positive mental health, and strengthen family resilience.
