A NEW PLAY & SUPPORT CENTRE
FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
A New Centre in Swindon Serving the Wiltshire, Hampshire and Berkshire Area
Hop Skip & Jump Swindon, a registered charity, is a day care centre for children with physical, learning, and emotional disabilities. We have created an environment where children will be able to interact freely, gain confidence and self esteem, and develop their social skills and give the parents and carers time to be with the rest of the family. The centre also offers siblings a special place to meet with others to share experiences.

Who Will Benefit?
Hop Skip & Jump Swindon will cater for children from birth onwards who have disabilities ranging from mild learning difficulties to complex and multiple physical needs.
The need for such a facility is evident. 1 in 15 people have a child with special needs, and we receive enquiries from all over the country from people wanting to visit our centres, many of whom are from the Swindon area. Our two existing centres receive around 31,000 visits between them every year, and by creating a new centre in Swindon, we will be extending our support further, helping thousands of people living in and around the town, as well as the people of Wiltshire.
|
Five out of the ten most deprived areas of Wiltshire are located within the Swindon district, and we are anticipating that many of the families who will use the centre will come from areas of deprivation, as well as from more affluent areas.
As well as offering specialist support and treatments to children with special needs, Hop Skip & Jump also extends it services to parents and siblings, helping to ease the pressures that coping with a child with special needs can bring.
