HENRY are a great service who offer strategies to support your child with healthy living, emotional wellbeing, behaviour and much more. They cover a wide range of topics and have group sessions that run face to face or online. Sessions are open to families living in a Leeds postcode. Sessions are filling up quickly so if it's something you feel will be beneficial for you and your child, have a look on their eventbrite link to find out more.

We have lots of fantastic HENRY groups running across the city; with both face to face and virtual group options available. The face to face group lasts for 2 hours every week (same time and venue), and the virtual group is an hour long. Please see below for the start dates.

Our friends at LS29 are holding this event, it looks like it will be an amazing day!

The event is open to non-members, and it would be great to make sure local families know of the group. LS29 covers 8 miles around Ilkley which includes Keighley, Shipley, Bingley, Skipton and parts of North Leeds, but this festival is open to families who have children and young adults with SEND from any area.
The charity has been a huge source of support and friendship for many of us. LS29 began when a small group of us met during a wet half-term and realised we had all been feeling a little isolated. Since then, the group has grown, and we are now in contact with around 200 local families. We organise regular activities, short breaks, and outings for the whole family.

During the day there will be inclusive entertainment and activities for all ages including inflatables, discos, keep fit, kinball, drumming, forest school, a ceilidh, choirs and musicians, dancers, circus skills, water play, adventure playground, sensory and quiet rooms, refreshments, food stalls, coffee, ice cream and pizza van, evening bar. Your £5 ticket covers everything apart from the food/drink stalls

A flyer is attached and the booking link for the event is here: LS29 20th Anniversary Festival - Booking by Bookwhen on this link https://bookwhen.com/ls29group/e/ev-s4430-20260425120000
