F. Un's programme of activities and support groups will offer children/young adults (YP) with SEND the opportunity to return to spending time with others in a similar situation enabling personal progression and the learning of new skills. The project will reduce barriers by offering young members the opportunity to participate in activities that they would otherwise find it hard to access: accessible and achievable activities with or without support from a parent/carer/sibling. All the YP, those with more complex needs and behaviours, are all able to enjoy and embrace positive experiences. Funding will pay for fully inclusive trampoline rebound sessions, adaptive ten-pin bowling, bird of prey handling, pony therapy (sitting/touching/grooming), and forest orienteering. This will facilitate a return to our normal service for children and young adults who will be able to focus on exciting events in the future where they can once again socialise with their peers, relieving isolation and loneliness.

This project aims to reduce barriers by offering our young members with SEND the opportunity to participate in engaging, inspiring activities that they would otherwise find it hard to access, giving a sense of inclusion within the community.

Families United will source and deliver a CARE package to children/young people with SEN & disabilities, or their parents/carers/guardians/siblings, depending on need, within our Families United (Warrington) community. There are currently 104 families with one or more vulnerable/shielding children/young people on the database, many of whom have reported feeling isolated and fragile, unwell or having mental health issues, especially whilst shielding and home-tutoring during the pandemic. Many of the families are at a socio-economic disadvantage. Funding will provide a CARE package containing essential toiletries, books, etc. which a family may not be currently able to afford. The most significant benefit of the project will be to improve the recipient's frame of mind, offering respite time, alleviating feelings of stress and isolation, increasing confidence and motivation, as well as boosting emotional and mental health at this very difficult time.
