We are running an in-person focus group to gather feedback on a new guide we have developed in partnership with Sheffield City Council and NHS Sheffield. The guide is for parents of young people aged 13+. It takes you through the different steps in your child’s transition to adulthood, and covers education, health and social care services, benefits, housing, leisure and more.

You will need to read a draft of the guide before attending this session. Participants will receive a £20 Love2Shop voucher as a thank you. Booking essential.

There have been repeated closures of respite centres for children with disabilities in Sheffield, to accommodate emergency placements. Many families have also seen an overall reduction in the overnight respite provision they receive. We have arranged a meeting with senior officers in Sheffield City Council to discuss the impact on families and find out what the Council are doing to address these issues.

If you’d like to attend, please click on “Book now” to register. We will then send you a meeting link.
