Short breaks and activities for children and young people with SEND

In Herefordshire, there are lots of activity clubs and opportunities that welcome children and young people with SEND. Providers should make reasonable adjustments so children and young people can take part wherever possible. Some children and young people may need more specialist support, so it is always best to speak to the provider directly about whether the activity is right for your child or young person.

The short breaks and activities listed in this directory are run by external providers, not by the council. We do our best to keep the information up to date, but details can change, so please contact the provider before travelling or booking to check the activity is still running and is suitable for your child or young person’s needs. Inclusion in the directory is for information only and does not mean the council endorses or recommends the service. The council cannot accept responsibility for third-party services.

If you are a local organisation who would like to list your SEND short break activity on the directory, please complete the online form.
