Short breaks coffee mornings
We believe that it's important for disabled children and young people to have opportunities to make and meet friends and to feel confident. We have a 'short breaks' programme that helps to do this, providing opportunities for children and young people to meet new people, take part in activities, enjoy positive learning opportunities and have different experiences, while giving their families a break from their caring responsibilities. If a child is eligible for targeted support, this support can include short breaks.
Now, we want to improve our short breaks offer, so we're currently working alongside the Parent Carer Forum Devon and organising sessions around the county to meet with parents and carers of disabled children and young people to talk together about short breaks, and share updates and experience together.
We have four coffee morning sessions taking place in:
- Barnstaple, on Wednesday 18 May
- Newton Abbot, on Wednesday 25 May
- Honiton, on Tuesday 7 June
- Tavistock, on Thursday 16 June
Further sessions are being planned for autumn, to be announced once they have been finalised.
If you are a parent or carer with a disabled child or young person, we'd like to invite you to attend any of our sessions.
