Aiming High

New Groups!
Places still available so find out more………

Funded through by the Government’s Aiming High initiative, we are excited to tell you about our new groups starting in the Spring/Summer 2010 for children and young people with a range of disabilities.

Cambridge Groups
Two fortnightly groups at Castle School in Cambridge, for 11-14 and 15+ age group children with autistic spectrum conditions and other learning and physical disabilities. Running on Saturday mornings, the direction of these groups will be led by the children and young people in partnership with the staff team.

The 11-14 group will focus on getting active, craft activities, cooking healthy snacks and spending time with friends.

The 15+ group will be showing us their sports skills, spending time with friends and hope to be getting out and about.

All Saturday groups will be run weekly and children and young people will attend fortnightly.

Holiday Playschemes
Holiday Playschemes in Fenland, for 5-11 age group children with learning (including ASCs) and physical disabilities held in a mainstream school. Lots of activities for children and their siblings too (age 5-11). The aim is to have fun in the holidays and meet up with friends.

Dates for Fenland Summer Playschemes are 9-13 August and 16-20 August. The Playscheme is at a Mainstream school in Wisbech.

Spaces still available for all dates so please get in touch. Children can attend each day for up to 5 days or ad hoc days subject to availability.

Number of places available varies from group to group and places must be booked in advance by contacting Lou Shackleton.

Because we need to be sure that we are meeting the needs of your child or young person and because the groups are funded by Aiming High, there are certain criteria that children and young people attending need to meet. We welcome the chance to discuss these in more detail with you so please give us a call.
