Recipient Org: Description BOSP (Brighter Opportunities for Special People) is a small independent Essex based charity that has been supporting families for over 29 years. BOSP’s purpose is to provide a range of high-quality leisure and respite services to children and young people with complex disabilities or life-limiting illnesses. We support the Government’s inclusion agenda and strive to help families lead an active and ‘ordinary’ life. BOSP aims to offer children and young people with disabilities access to the same activities and opportunities as their peers, allowing them to develop independence, self-esteem and social skills in a supportive environment, whilst their families benefit from the vital break our 5.5-hour sessions provide. Profound learning disabilities and critical illnesses blight young lives and puts great stress on the family unit. Disabled and very ill children face discrimination and substantial barriers to participation in mainstream activities, resulting in the whole family becoming marginalised and vulnerable to depression, family breakdown and social exclusion. BOSP aims to prevent crisis, keeping families together and children in their homes. BOSP provides 12 different clubs and activities, regularly supporting 110 local children and over 400 parents/siblings.
