Lancashire Break Time
Break Time provides fun group activities for children and young people aged 4-18 with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), while their parents and carers have a short break from their caring role.
In order to access the service, parents and carers must register their child annually.
Registrations for Break Time membership in 2025/26 have reopened on Friday 13th June for new members. More information on the service, including the eligibility criteria and the registration form (when it opens), can be found at Break Time short break activities

Below is a link for a Seasonal Support Pack.
This festive season, we want to continue providing top tips and advice for neurodiverse families. Our Seasonal Support Pack is bursting at the seams with resources to support children with SEN, including ADHD, autism, mental health, and speech language and communication difficulties.
By downloading this pack, you will be given access to a huge library of resources.
