Sensed group meet again this Thursday evening. Parents/carers all very welcome, great chance to chat to others. If you or someone you know is caring for a child with autism/adhd/dyslexia or any neurodivergent condition feel free to come along. Your child does not have to have received a diagnosis.

Although we meet in Cedar IPS and are very grateful to Cedar for allowing us to use the school as a venue, we are not affiliated to Cedar. Our meetings are open to anyone in the local community and beyond. Your child could be attending any school or may be beyond school age. Our meetings are open to all 😊

Any queries please contact Nicola on 07886 966618.

If SEND touches your life, your voice matters.

Kellie Bright has launched a powerful new project for families living with SEND – and she wants YOUR story.

The EastEnders actor and mum-of-three is calling on parents, children, professionals and anyone connected to special educational needs and disabilities to take part in Post SEND – a national storytelling initiative shared by post.

Whether you're a SEND parent, teacher, sibling or grandparent – Kellie’s inviting you to write just a few honest lines and send them anonymously by post. No forms. No pressure. No perfection needed.

'It could be something hard, something hopeful or something you wish teachers or doctors knew,' Kellie says. 'You don’t have to write an essay. Just be honest.'
