UPDATE!
As you know we have been offering our Sunday SEND sessions for both Lancashire Break Time and non- Breaktime members since April. From now on, we will be using our booking system. This can be done online through our website. Please do not just turn up on the day expecting a place as you may be disappointed. You will also be required to pay at the time of booking. The charge for Break Time members is £3.00 and non-Breaktime will now be £6.00. The cost for non-Breaktime members has had to increase, this is because we receive no additional funding for these young people, but we recognise that there is still the need for them to attend Inspire on a quieter and more suitable session. Booking is essential as this helps us to make sure we have appropriate staffing levels for the amount and needs of the young people attending.
If your young person currently attends on Sundays but would like to attend our mainstream sessions please email or telephone to make an appointment to discuss, we can in some cases transfer your Break Time hours to these sessions or look at a more tailored approach to suit your child’s needs. If you feel that your child may benefit from attending mainstream sessions but do not currently qualify for Breaktime please ask us what other sessions may be available.
That’s why our inclusion team are dedicated to providing support for all young people up to the age of 25 with a disability.
The team make sure that each and every young person who attends the youth zone can get involved in the activities they want to, regardless of their abilities.
We understand that some young people will have more specific needs to enable them to be able to access the same opportunities as others.
We have developed a model of working that takes into consideration any barriers that may prevent young people from joining in with activities and working to remove those barriers wherever possible.
We believe this approach should be inclusive of all abilities yet specific enough to cater for each individual.
We want to encourage and develop an environment so that we Invest, Include and INSPIRE young people in all the activities and opportunities we have available that’s why we offer a range of targeted support to attend activities as well as specific tailored SEND/Inclusion sessions.
In-Club is our Inclusion Club within Inspire Youth Zone for members aged 8 -25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Our Inclusive Club provides young people a safe space where they can relax, have fun, learn and socialise with other young people who they can relate to, have things and experiences in common, feel comfortable with and feel confident.
We are a Lancashire Breaktime provider.
In-Club is available for members aged 8-25 with Special Educational Needs or disabilities. To find out if this is suitable for you, please contact michelle.graham@inspireyouthzone.org or bethany.henry@inspireyouthzone.org for a 1-to-1 meeting.
Prior to booking your place you will need to complete an In-Club membership form, which can be done by arranging a meeting with michelle.graham@inspireyouthzone.org or bethany.henry@inspireyouthzone.org.
Places can then be booked by calling reception (Mon-Fri 9:30am – 3pm) on 01257 228888.
At this time, Inspire does not offer 1:1 support or personal care, however we do have a Personal Assistant Policy to allow SEND Young people to bring support into the centre if required.
As a member of the In-Club you can benefit from additional bookable sessions (outlined above.) Once you’ve booked your place onto the session, your place is guaranteed and you will be given Fast Pass access to allow you to come into session 10 minutes earlier.
