Description

Short breaks provide children and young people (5 - 18 years) with the opportunity to access a range of enriching activities such as afterschool clubs, holiday playschemes, arts, crafts, sports, community outreach, where they can spend time away from their parent/carer and spend time with their peers. Caring for a child or young person with a disability is exhausting and can put even the strongest relationships under strain. Short breaks provide parents/carers with the opportunity to have a 'break' from their caring responsibilities and to spend time with partners and other members of the family. The service will be available to children and young people between the age of 5-18 living in the London Borough of Harrow who have a disability, as defined under the Equality Act 2010. Lot 1: 5 - 13 Years Centre Based and After School Activities Lot 2: 13 - 16 Years Centre Based and After School Activities, Community and Themed Sessions Lot 3: 16 - 18 Years Community and Themed Sessions Vocational Activities
