What we do

We provide holiday playschemes and lafter school & weekend leisure clubs for children and young people who have complex learning disabilities with associated challenging behaviours, and physical disabilities, who live in the West Kent area. We also support other local voluntary organisations who provide services for disabled children and young people.

We opened in 2006, and received new funding in 2009 that came from Aiming High for Disabled Children, which allowed us to develop our services in a variety of areas. We currently provide services to around eighty families.

Our holiday playschemes now run from Sunrise (Southborough) and rural locations in Cranbrook and Sevenoaks. We also provide a variety of weekend clubs in the above areas and in Tunbridge Wells, as well as a club where young people with physical disabilities enjoy community facilities in West Kent. A number of other voluntary organisations provide a variety of after-school clubs from Sunrise. A full list of our services is on our service leaflet, which you can download. Alternatively, contact us and we can send it to you.

The activities enhance the facilities available locally to young people with disabilities and compliment the services that are already provided by other agencies, both statutory and voluntary.

SPACe (the Sunrise Parents Advisory Committee) is an independent organisation who are involved with fundraising and ensuring that our services reflect the needs of local families.
