Our Holiday Squad has a great range of free activities for children of primary school age living in the North East running during the summer holidays.
They’re also special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) friendly, which means that as many children as possible can take part.
We spoke to our Community Investment Manager, Paul Moralee to find out more.
“We believe that all children should have the opportunities to take part in fun, engaging and enriching activities, no matter their background or needs.
“We’ve been working closely with parents, providers and venues to put as much in place as practical to support children and make sessions accessible to all.
“As part of this, we provide introductory phone calls and venue information to parents, guardians or carers of any child identified as having additional needs or medical requirements.
“We’re also flexible on when they arrive and leave, the age of the children and the delivery of the session so it can fit around individuals and make attending easier.
“The feedback we’ve had on these sessions has been great. We’re so pleased that our Holiday Squad activities have made even more people happy.”
“To say Karbon went over and above is an understatement, they were fantastic. My child had an accident just coming into the venue which I needed to sort out. The staff carried on and slotted him easily, it was great they had the heads up without me needing to explain their condition. Thank you.” Kara .
“Absolutely fantastic, thanks so much for your help and effort in supporting our children.” Lisa.
