Children and Adults in Transition Support

Support that is shaped around each child or young person to help you achieve your goals and wishes. This can include all aspects of day to day life, such as support with personal care, support at school / college, building skills and independence (like looking after money, travel, interests and hobbies), support with friendships and family, time away from home, and many other things you might want or need support with.

Children Groups

We run various different groups in each local area. These include groups based around specific interests (like a gaming group, or a girls group) and more general groups for fun, friendship and great activities. They offer a place to hang out, meet other children or young people and try new things with staff support. We involve you in deciding what groups do and when they happen: again we work in partnership with you.
