About respite & activity clubs

Every family needs a break sometimes, and children with SEND need activities where they can have fun without the pressure of fitting in. Respite services and specialist activity clubs offer both — a chance for parents to recharge, and a chance for children to enjoy sport, arts, outdoor activities, and socialising in an environment designed around their needs.

If you're exhausted from constant care demands, if your child can't access mainstream clubs or activities, if siblings need one-on-one time, or if you simply need a few hours to yourself, respite and specialist clubs can be a lifeline. There's no shame in needing support — looking after yourself means you can better look after your child.

SEND services in Birmingham

Birmingham City Council is one of the largest Local Authorities in the country and has a dedicated SEND team covering the whole city. The council's SENAR (Special Educational Needs Assessment and Review) service handles EHCP applications. Birmingham has a strong network of special schools and specialist provision, though waiting times for assessments and therapies remain a challenge.

Typical costs

Costs vary widely. Some Local Authority respite services are free for families who meet eligibility criteria (usually requiring a social care assessment). Charity-run clubs often charge nominal fees (£5 to £15 per session). Private activity clubs may charge £15 to £40 per session. Short Breaks funding from your Local Authority may cover or subsidise costs — it's worth asking.
