| Recipient Org: Description | Give Us A Break is a voluntary group based in the Wolverhampton area providing activities during school holidays for children and young people with severe and complex learning difficulties and physical impairments. It was established to allow children with special needs to have access to activities that are appropriate to their needs and interests. The criteria for eligibility is that the child would find it difficult or impossible to access mainstream activities. We are a voluntary organisation run by parents of disabled children to provide a mutual support network and organise events that our children attend. Children and young people can attend activities with their brothers and sisters and other members of their families knowing that other families will understand and support them. This also provides the families with the opportunity to spend quality family time together and time to bond with siblings and family members. The activities we provide are in consultation with parent/carer and the children/young adults from feedback forms. All the activities are charged at a small cost to make them affordable for low income and deprived families who cannot work due to being full time carers to their child/young person. |
