Supporting Families in Northampton

Discover the range of family support services we offer and how we aim to support families in Northampton. Our goal is to create a community where every child, regardless of their needs, feels connected and supported.

Our Services

We aim to offer a range of services designed to foster community connections and provide support for families, especially those with children with additional needs. Our unique approach focuses on inclusion and empathy within the wider community.

Community Connections

Building strong community connections for children with additional needs through inclusive activities and events. 

We aim to create inclusive spaces where children with additional needs can participate alongside all children, learning together through play and shared experiences. Our activities include:

  • Social and play sessions for school-aged children that encourage kindness, empathy, and belonging.

  • Opportunities for children with SEND to participate fully in community events alongside their peers.

  • Activities that are designed to include all families, fostering understanding, cohesion, and shared growth.

Family Support

Providing a supportive network for families, offering guidance, resources, and a space to share experiences.

We aim to work with each family to understand their unique needs and provide tailored support. This includes:

  • One-to-one assessments to identify what support families want and need to thrive.

  • Guidance and resources to empower parents in supporting their child’s learning, wellbeing, and development at home.

  • Practical advice and support to access community services and opportunities.

  • Ongoing check-ins to adapt support as the family’s needs evolve.

  • We also aim to offer short-term care and respite to give parents and carers the time and space they need. This includes:

    • Supervised care for children in a safe, nurturing environment.

    • Opportunities for parents to have some “me time” — whether it’s attending the gym, running errands, or having quality time with other children.

    • Flexible, tailored support to meet each family’s individual needs while ensuring children are happy, safe, and engaged.

Inclusive Initiatives

Creating inclusive initiatives that encourage empathy, understanding, and acceptance within the Northampton community.

We see that the current system isn't fair and that why we are here.

We aim to provide tailored educational support for families in two key ways:

  • Stop-gap support: For children not currently receiving their full-time educational entitlement, we provide learning opportunities and structured activities to maintain progress.

  • Parental empowerment: We work alongside parents who want to enhance their child’s learning at home, providing tools, resources, and strategies to support holistic development.

  • Inclusive educational opportunities that foster curiosity and real world experiences.

A Different Mindset

We believe in tackling family support with an inclusive approach. By fostering empathy and human connection, we aim to alleviate pressure and judgement, creating a thriving community for all families.
