A few weeks ago I heard an interview on Radio Sheffield about 'Hullaballoos'. This is an indoor play centre with ball pools, slides, climbing structures, bridges, and much more. They do play sessions in which children of ALL abilities play alongside each other. You may need to ring them to find out further details on 0114 284 8921 at Pack Horse Lane, High Green, Sheffield, S35 3HY

 

There is the website link but the beurocratic 'red tape' on this forum website requires that I make at least 5 posts before I can include a web link in my posting.

whilst I love hullaballos, and visit regularly, I can't see how this happens. I take my son in his wheelchair with his sisters, and there is nothing he is able to do.

Fair play to the staff there though, they never charge me for him.

SYMPSONS (Sheffield Youth Mentoring & Personal Support Scheme) is about to restart and we are currently able to invite more young people (age 13-19) to join in (physically and/or learning disabled welcome).

 

The project is lottery funded and supported by 'Inclusive Living Sheffield' and therefore free to use.

 

The main aims are to increase the disabled young people's independence and to provide social opportunities where they can make friends and enjoy the types of activities that non disabled teens take for granted.

 

Examples of the activities include:

 

Theme parks

Cinema

Cycling

Sports

IT

Healthy Living & Managing money workshops

Drama

 

If you feel you know a young disabled person who would benefit from the scheme please contact me asap as numbers are limited.
