The Play and Leisure Forum met on 25th September with 10 attendees representing Leisure Provision for Children with SEND in Warrington.
Highlights of the meeting included an update from the Children and Families Practitioners working with Warrington Wolves Foundation. An extremely successful holiday club was held over the Summer for children and young people with PMLD. There were 9 families and 25 siblings involved and it has had great feedback. This is held every Monday at the Sensory centre during the holidays, families do not have to be known to the service but do need to be referred.
Children and Families Practitioners are also planning the introduction of a mum and tots’ group for PMLD children (age 0-3).
Families United reported on a great collaborative party with the sensory centre in the summer holidays. A Christmas Party has been booked along with a Santa Train outing at Llangollen steam railway.
Warrington Play and Sensory Centre are holding a social evening in January at Monks Social Club. This will involve a live band and will be catered by Willowbank 6th form pupils. All proceeds from this event will also go towards the sensory garden. There are plenty of Christmas activities planned which will be detailed on their website.
Sportworks have now started new Sunday session at Woolston which are already full but there is still a waiting list.
Playability was pleased to tell us that Foxwood and Green Lane proved to be great venues over the summer and good feedback has been received.
