Better Together launch group for SEND children
Better together Community Support Group will launch a new group to support SEND and their families at the start of June.
The group will take place every Friday during the school term between 10.00 am and midday at their Community HQ in Trent Vale and will be open to young people aged 12 and under.
Better Together CEO Dawn O’Keefe said: “Families are at the heart of what we do, and we are excited to be supporting this new group”.
The group will be led by Better Together management team member and SEND lead for the charity Becci, who said: “As the mum of a SEND child, I understand how hard it can be to find inclusive places to go”.
The group will give little ones and younger childrens an opportunity to explore new colours, sounds and textures through hands-on sensory activities that will help them develop their confidence and creativity.
Support for the group will be provided by placement students Leona and Leema from Keele University.
Becci added: “The new group will be a calm and welcoming space where kids and parents can relax and have fun.”
The new SEND group is part of the support for young people provided by the charity, including a parent and toddler group at the West End Centre in Stoke and a baby group at their Community HQ, both of which take place on Monday mornings.
Better Together also deliver SEND friendly sessions during the school holidays as part of the HAFF scheme in partnership with the HUBB Foundation.
The first SEND group session will be on Friday 5th June at 10:00am at the Better Together Community HQ, located at 4 Woodberry Close, Trent Vale, ST4 5LU. Booking is essential.
