The Family Play and Respite Club provides sports, games, puzzles, arts and crafts and other activities for children aged 5 to 16 years with learning disabilities. There are also places for any non-disabled siblings of those who attend, meaning parents can secure some regular respite for themselves.
All sessions must be pre-booked. Please contact Marc for more information.
