Leisure and social activities

For young people in Shropshire, taking part in activities in their community can be an important step to independence. They offer an opportunity to have some fun, learn a new skill, or make new friends.

There are a range of clubs, activities, events and things to do in the local community which are accessible to children with special educational needs and disabilities. It's recommended that you contact the service directly to ensure that it can meet your child’s needs.

The All In Programme is specifically for children aged up to the age of 18 who live in Shropshire and have a disability that prevents them accessing universal services without additional support. It provides a range of opportunities such as youth clubs, holiday schemes, swimming, horse riding, cycling, forest school, drama and football. 

These activities are run by adults who have experience of helping children and young people with SEND. To take part in our ‘All In’ activities you need to register as a member. This is so that we can ensure that our short breaks reach the right families, children and young people, and to ensure that each child is safe, and that their wellbeing is planned for. Once the membership application is received, it will be checked to ensure that the child or young person is eligible.

Day opportunities also offer young adults the chance to take part in positive fun activities within the community. There are a variety of opportunities available in Shropshire for you to have a look at.

Your young person might also be interested in other groups and activities run by the following organisations:
