We have our family fun sessions every Saturday 1pm-4pm at Mortimer Community Centre on Reading Road, South Shields, NE34 4UG. During school holidays we open from 12pm.
These sessions are open to all children and young people aged up to 25 years of age who have a disability, special educational needs (SEN), social emotional or mental health (SEMH). We have a wide variety of additional needs and disabilities including: Autism (ASD), learning difficulties, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Marfan’s Syndrome, Downs Syndrome, Epilepsy, Emotional Difficulties to name a few. We are open to all and would love you see you and your family or loved ones relaxing, enjoying some freedom and making new friends.
We have a wide range of activities on each week: pool, bouncy castle, bikes, trikes, basketball, football, sports day activities, arts and crafts, toddler play area with toddler bouncy castle. All we ask is that parents and carers know where their children are and are aware of their child’s needs. We are open to all families in the North East but don’t worry if you live further afield and are interested then come and join us. If you have any other interests and would like us to offer it we can always try.
KAYAKS do not charge for our Saturday family sessions, however, Mortimer Community Centre do charge a small cover of £2. Kayaks do not receive any of this charge.
