SEND term-time activities and holiday clubs
For children and young people aged 7-19 with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND)

Vivacity runs term-time sessions and holiday clubs for children and young people aged 7-19 with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), providing opportunities to spend time away from parents and carers within quality services.

We feel it is important for children and young adults to come together to be social, engage in activities and support each other. We understand that a lot of children and young adults with SEND can often feel isolated in other mainstream environments, but at Vivacity sessions they can relax in a quiet space, participate in tailored activities, make friends with others and have some fun. 

We deliver:
