Information, advice and support
Our website has advice and information about concerns a family might have about raising a child with additional needs.
We run a freephone telephone helpline, we provide access to live chat via Charlie the chat bot, and offer a Listening Ear support service. We produce a range of email newsletters and parent guides available to download or order.
Local offices & family events
We have local offices in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales and across London.
Aside from providing local advice, our regional teams organise coffee mornings, family fun days and outings, bringing families together for friendship and support.
Workshops and information sessions
We run a range of fun workshops and information sessions, on topics ranging from benefits and money matters to helping your child sleep and wellbeing.
Our events are both online and face-to-face, running across the UK.
