SNAPS (Special Needs & Parent/Carer Support)

SNAPS (Special Needs and Parent Support) is based in Leeds and provides support services for children with additional needs of all kinds, and their families.

Their aim is to support the entire family by enabling the child, along with siblings, parents/carers to participate in a shared experience of physical activity, fun and conversation in relaxed surroundings. 

Their age range is from 0 to 16 and children do not need a formal diagnosis.  Families can self-refer to the charity or be referred by another organisation.
