SEND Activities
About
We have various activities, clubs and groups for children and young people with individual needs.
Rochdale Short Breaks
Children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities aged 0-18 are eligible for a short break. A short break gives a child or young person the opportunity to spend time away from their family, taking part in leisure activities or simply relaxing. Families in turn get a break from their caring responsibilities.
Fresh Club
FRESH Holiday Club provides holiday activities for children with mild to moderate additional needs, delivered in a fun and safe environment by understanding stuff.
Children and young people can access two sessions per week for each school holiday period (10 hours per week).
Funded by Rochdale Council Short Break Holiday Service.

Any child aged between 5-18 who has mild to moderate additional needs.
What’s included
