Respite trips for siblings of children with disabilities
We have a dedicated team who provide support to children and young people aged 7 - 18 years who we work with during our monthly day trips and workshops. We also try to run three residential trips throughout the year, typically in March, August and October. Our workshops provide a base where the siblings can get together with other children and young people who are in similar situations to themselves. We use many methods to work with the siblings, including puppet's, arts and crafts and cooking, where our aim is to raise awareness of their situations and share experiences with each other. Our ultimate aim is to put the childhood back into the child.
