An inclusive playgroup for children with additional needs charity.
Happy Heroes is an inclusive playgroup, currently held twice a month for children up to the age of 10 with additional needs, their siblings and parents/carers. Our volunteers who attend the sessions to help and support are all DBS checked and have childcare experience. We have insurance which covers our sessions and all ‘staff’ are first aid trained.
Our aim is to be a safe, enclosed environment for children with additional needs to play, socialise with their peers and have a place where they can be completely themselves with no judgement.
We provide a space for parents/carers to relax knowing their children are safe and engage with other families who are in similar circumstances. We provide emotional support to parents and carers.
We hope to host monthly parent meetings for parents to meet without their children to discuss any difficulties they are facing or seek advice from other families. We can also signpost to various other agencies/charities when appropriate.
To continue to spread the word about Happy Heroes and build our community.
To raise funds in order to continue to provide a safe, welcoming and inclusive setting.
Using funds raised, purchase a range of specialist play equipment for children with specific additional needs and disabilities.
