Barnardo’s are now running SEND groups for children and young people in the East Riding, aged 5 to 11 and 12 to 18, including in Bridlington.
Each Saturday, 10 groups run each week across six different locations in Beverley, Bridlington, Cottingham, Goole, Hedon and Market Weighton. The inclusive sessions offer games, arts, crafts, sports, music, drama and fun with friends.
Amy Wobbaka Children’s Service Manager at Barnardo’s Disability Support and Inclusion (DSI) Service, said:
“Our youth groups offer a vibrant and welcoming space designed specifically for children and young people with disabilities, to come together, build friendships, and explore their potential in a nurturing environment. We aim to create a sense of belonging, independence and confidence among our members, empowering them to embrace their unique abilities and reach their full potential.”
Councillor Victoria Aitken, Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education, said:
“These groups offer a great opportunity for children, young people and their families to come together – promoting socialisation, teamwork and communication skills – and helping every child to learn, grow and thrive.”
Sessions run on Saturdays and throughout the week during school holidays at the following locations:
- Beverley: The DSI Service, Village Business Farm, Holme on the Wolds, East Street, HU17 7GA
- Bridlington: The Old Parcels Office, Bridlington Railway Station, Station Approach, Bridlington, YO15 3EP
