WeMakewell Free Monthly SEND Parent Support Groups

At Makewell, we understand the challenges and joys of parenting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). That’s why we’re offering free support groups to help parents and carers connect, share experiences, and gain valuable insights.

Our groups are open to parents and carers of children with SEND, regardless of age, diagnosis, or stage of the journey. Whether you’re new to SEND or an experienced advocate, you’re welcome here.

You can reserve your free place on any of the events by going onto the link advertised with that event.

Quiet Shopping Hours

Midsummer Place run quiet shopping hours every Monday from 4pm-6pm.

Quiet shopping hours offer numerous benefits for neurodivergent individuals by reducing overwhelming stimuli and creating a more manageable shopping experience

A positive start to the week can provide several benefits for neurodivergent individuals, including improved mood, increased focus, and enhanced productivity. By establishing a routine that supports strengths and preferences, neurodiverse individuals can leverage a good start to the week to feel more comfortable and successful in their work and personal lives.

Preparing for Adulthood Team

We support young people (aged 16+), including those with care experience or additional needs helping them build confidence, independence, and success.

Working alongside parents and carers, we provide guidance, opportunities, and the right support to help them achieve their goals and aspirations.

Together, we make the transition into adulthood a positive journey where they can thrive.
