An event for Wokingham families with a disabled child

This free annual event, for families with a child with additional needs in the Wokingham Borough, will take place on Saturday June 30, 2007 from 11am to 4pm at the Salvation Army Hall in Lower Earley.

This event is organised in partnership with Wokingham Borough Council’s children’s services and local organisations: Peapods, Wokingham District Mencap, Crossroads, The Me2 Club and Wokingham Autism Support for Parents (WASP).

There will be entertainment for all the family, including Millers Ark Farm animals, art and drama activities and children’s entertainer Fred in the Shed, plus a wealth of information about services and facilities in Wokingham borough for children with additional needs and their families.

An ‘Ask the Panel’ session will take place at 12.30pm, which will be an opportunity for people to put questions to local professionals on topics such as health, education, social care and leisure.

An on-site play club will be available, offering childcare for children of all ages, giving parent and carers the freedom to browse the information stalls. If one-to-one support is required, it would be advisable for parents / carers to pre-book a place by phoning (0118) 979 5324.
