Household Support Fund
Household Support Fund has been set up to support millions of households in England and will be distributed by local Councils. This will directly help those who need it most, including for example, through small grants to meet daily needs such as food, clothing, and utilities.
This will run until 31/03/2022 or when the funds run out, whichever comes first.
Those in need of support should contact their local council directly who will help them access the fund.
Home-Start Parenting Programmes
 
SEND SUNDAYS at Climb Quest Milton Keynes
On the 1st Sunday of each month, Climb Quest run a special session for those climbers with special educational needs. Between 9 and 10am, they provide a calm environment for all members of the family to climb. The music is turned right down if needed, and there are plenty of instructors to help. They also restrict numbers in the session to 14.
Sessions are £10 per climber, and tickets can be booked in advance through their booking site.
Tourette’s Support-Beds Bucks and Herts is setting up a private Facebook group for support and also to arrange meet ups across the 3 counties to try and make it accessible for people to come along.
They can also be contacted by text or Whatsapp on 07434 568925 for advice.
