Who Can Join?

YOU CAN!

All that we ask is that a child from within your direct family unit has a special need. Currently our child members ages varies from 0-26, and our children have a wide range of needs varying from Severe Learning or Physical Disabilities, Sensory Loss, Autism, and ADHD, to a child with a minor speech delay. If what we offer is suitable for you and your family, you are very welcome to join us.

We are aware that our children suffer disadvantage, isolation and sometimes prejudice. This impact’s on the whole family and we recognise that siblings also have to overcome difficulties, misunderstanding and sometimes exclusion because of the special needs’ family member. This is why everything that we do is open to the whole family. We understand that accessing activities and can be extremely difficult on your own. With support and encouragement ESCAPE families have not only achieved success undertaking varied activities that other families take for granted but have also gone on to using mainstream public activities independently.

Please remember, that although ESCAPE provides support for families we cannot take responsibility for other peoples children and they are expected to be adequately supervised at all times when participating in ESCAPE activities.
