The Sunshine Centre now known as The Disabled Children’s Short Breaks & Outreach Service
Supporting Disabled Children & Their Families
Our aim as a service is to create an environment for our children and young people where they are acknowledged, enabled and empowered. Each child and young person’s voice being heard and their needs being met is paramount to us.
Sessions are held during term time on Mondays at The Sunshine Centre 3pm-6pm and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 4pm-7pm at Hannah's Place. Sessions are also held on Saturdays at both venues 10am-3pm.
