This includes identifying specific \u2018hidden\u2019 and \u2018hard to reach\u2019 groups within our local community.<\/p>\n Our support services have never been more essential, and we have worked hard to adapt and continually risk-assess to meet local need and demand. Thanks to continued core funding from London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and local charities the Hampton Fund, Richmond Parish Lands Charity and The Barnes Fund, we are also able to provide specialist outreach and community services that help meet local demographics and need.<\/p>\n Our community services offer safe, supportive, confidential and specialist environments which are tailored to meet particular needs. Each group offers specialist advice, assists to develop friendships and support networks, aims to reduce social isolation and the negative impact caring has on mental and physical well-being, as well as increasing awareness and coping strategies.<\/p>\n Our project staff and volunteers bring a wide range of experience and knowledge to the team and specific projects. They support our organisation through our outreach community-based projects, office administration and bespoke work.<\/p>\n We are currently accepting new referrals for:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Saturday club row” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Saturday Club” content_max_width=”1100px” content_last_edited=”off|tablet” module_id=”saturday-club” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|800|||||||” header_font_size=”30px” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” header_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_font_size_phone=”18px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” content__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”]<\/p>\n Our Saturday Club for children with special educational needs and disabilities has been running in Hampton for more than 20 years.

It allows them to spend quality time alone, take time out, attend appointments, participate in activities or spend time with their partners.<\/p>\n A fun, safe and stimulating environment for children and young people, the activities, which are tailored to their needs include street dance, karate (including grading) and other sports, cookery sessions, art and games as well as seasonal pantomime trips and outings.<\/p>\n Children and young people are able to spend time at a \u201cclub of their own\u201d while parent carers get a break.<\/p>\n Funded by Richmond Foundation, Hampton Fund and The Barnes Fund.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”saturday club” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code raw_content_tablet=”<\/p>\n Danielle Way Crossroads Care – Where friendships are formed<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Our Saturday Club Leaflet<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n ” raw_content_phone=”<\/p>\n Danielle Way<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Crossroads Care – Where friendships are formed<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Our Saturday Club Leaflet<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n ” raw_content_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_css_main_element_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n [\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Click here for our leaflet<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Associated projects and programmes include:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”16 group” module_id=”group” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Our 16+ Group” content_max_width=”1100px” content_tablet=”<\/p>\n Our 16+ Group for Young People with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) began in April 2023.<\/p>\n It was launched after staff and parents became increasingly aware that older members of our Saturday Club for 8\u201318-year-olds with SEND, were still very much in need of our support as they start a new journey into adulthood, with all the challenges and obstacles that come with that transition.
