A creative outdoor club in a forest for children with additional needs and their siblings. Feedback from parents about a the project: ‘As a single parent I love my short breaks respite time and I can have a much needed walk.' ‘Some sessions have been challenging for our child but staff create such a positive, nurturing environment that we feel the sessions will be a benefit to his communication and social skills in the longer term.' ‘My child has an opportunity to mix with other young people with social anxieties and similar limitations as herself. Her sister has had an opportunity to share this with her, and now may be able to access a club at the same time at another venue. Myself and their dad have an opportunity to do something together and spend valuable time as a couple.' 'It's easy to think your kids only like tech stuff but I love seeing them enjoy simpler pleasures at Tickwood’ ‘I love the family days as I'm at my best in this wild environment.' ‘A lot of support and familiar faces has been great for him. Activities pitched at his level'
