Short Breaks Youth Club

Telford & Wrekin Council commission a range of Shorts Breaks activities to resident children and young people aged 5-17, with a disability, in line with the Short Breaks regulations 2011.

Part of The Council's Short Breaks offer is a number of targeted activities and within this, recognises the importance of delivering a Youth Club to children and young people with a disability. The activity is an opportunity for children and young people to explore a range of Youth Club related activities, take part to the degree they wish to (either as a sole or team activity) and have a connection, making friends and community inclusion. The benefits of community inclusion is well known, however people with disabilities often experience barriers from engaging. This targeted activity will seek the same wellbeing outcomes for our children and young people with disabilities to experience the same sense of relaxation, aspiration, and sense of achievement. The Youth Club session will be weekly for 2 hours and for ages 11 to 17. Overall, the Council are looking for a provider with the necessary expertise, a place with the facilities and environment to cater for additional needs; use of staff with the necessary skills to support child with additional needs.
