At the Spring Centre, supporting children, young people and their families is at the core of our work. Our main aim is to improve the quality of life for the child or young person as well as their family group.
We understand that children and young people who have special needs and disabilities face an incredible amount of challenges during their lives – we also understand that their families may face many challenges as well, whether that be coming to terms with the child’s condition, needing specialist help for the first time, or just needing someone to talk to who really understands.
Our services provide opportunities for children and young people and their families to access a tailored programme of activities aimed at improving and enriching quality of life for them all.
Our services include pre-school family sessions, after school clubs, holiday and respite activities and family days for children as well as a young adult day care centre. Those using the centre have a range of diagnoses including learning difficulties, autism, cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, Rett syndrome and epilepsy. These conditions often come with additional behavioural and psychological difficulties, hearing and sight problems.
The charity’s main aim is to develop the independence and social skills of the children and young adults in a fun-filled but safe and caring environment. We provide a programme of activities which provides opportunities to develop and enhance peer-to-peer relationships, learning about acceptable behaviours and keeping safe.
