Be yourself and enjoy the company of people of all neurotypes in this get-together amongst SEND families in Manchester.
About this Event

Let's celebrate by acknowledging the importance of all neurotypes. Whether you're autistic, neurotypical or neurodivergent in any other way, you're welcome to join this inclusive get-together amongst parents, carers, children and young people with SEND (Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities) who live in, go to school at, or access a GP in the city of Manchester.

There will be plenty of activities to enjoy together - Lego, arts and crafts, board games. We'll also have snacks and refreshments to share!

We can also take out some items from our Book Library so that you can explore some fantastic books about autism, neurodiversity, the SEND system, and more! Please speak with someone from the team on the day of the event if you want to read a book during the session.

Booking is required. Feel free to arrive and leave any time between 4:30 to 6:30pm.


Important Notes:
  • Children and young people aged 17 and under, and those with complex/ high support needs, must be in the presence of an adult at all times. You are responsible for your own children's safety throughout the session.
  • This event is exclusively for families of deaf, disabled and neurodivergent children & young people living in the city of Manchester (or if they go to a Manchester-based school or accesses a Manchester-based GP).
  • Siblings without SEND are also welcome to join.
  • The building receptionist might not be fully available during the session. If nobody's opening the sliding doors for you, please feel free to ring us on 0161 388 4500 or contact us via SMS (text message) or WhatsApp.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Much thanks to Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) and their Autism Navigators for hosting us on this day.
