Fun, Friends and the Support you need
We strive to give every child who accesses our service a positive experience, allow them to access it in their own way and our whole family approach enables families the opportunity to make lasting memories together.

Our Services
School Holiday Activities
Our vast and varied range of activities throughout all school holidays is the bulk of our delivery. We provide all sorts of opportunities and experiences — nothing is off limits! Our whole family approach means siblings are welcome and memories can be made together.
Coffee Mornings
Regular opportunities for parents and carers to meet up over coffee and cake is a staple for SEND Socials Birmingham!
We have a giggle, we talk all things SEND and sometimes we have a cry. Importantly we never judge, and we welcome anyone who wants to join us with open arms.
Moos: More Opportunities out for school
More Opportunities out for school: This is aimed at school aged children who aren't currently accessing education at school. We offer a weekly activity giving these children the opportunity to make friends, build their confidence, prepare them for school, and often reintegrate them into being around people in a group environment.
EPIC - Eleven Plus Inclusive Club
Eleven Plus inclusive Club: Launched in 2021 having seen people struggling to find enrichment / extra-curricular activities for their growing children. One evening per month SEND Socials Birmingham takes a group of youths to do a fun activity in the community alongside their parent / carer.
Parent Wellbeing & Workshops
Empowering parents and giving them the knowledge they need in their arsenal for the trials and tribulations of SEND parenting. Introduced to add some positivity to your day, to make you feel good and to help take some of the strain off what can be an isolating and exhausting journey.
Dads Group
Set up and run by Dads, partaking in numerous activities but usually involving a curry and / or beer! The monthly evening meetups give the opportunity to come together, to meet others who "get it", share experience or just relax.
Youth Club
Our fortnightly youth sessions are for 11-16 year olds. We use a typical youth room with access to a pool table, foosball, games consoles, computers and relaxed seating. It's the only thing we currently do where we actively send parents / carers to another room so the young people get a real sense of independence.
Testimonials
I love SEND Socials Birmingham. They take a lot of stress out of the holidays. My boys get to partake in activities that are really well-organised, with other like-minded people that just get it. It’s lovely to see my little one with friends from school that I would not know about otherwise. It teaches my big boy that he’s valued as a sibling too, and he gets to do extra activities because of his brother rather than missing out because of his brother. Thank you!

You ladies are amazing! You have changed school holidays for us, made it possible for us to have fun together. I will forever be grateful.
Amy JohnsonBirmingham
SEND Socials Birmingham is real lifeline for us. My children are always most excited when I can tell them they are doing a SEND Socials activity, they have a real sense of calm because they know there will be no judgment and they are cared for.
