£1m for much needed breaks

More than 1,000 young people with special educational needs and disabilities, as well as their carers, are expected to benefit from short breaks and activities in Wiltshire this year.

The council has committed £1million to maintain the service after ring fenced government funds ended last year.

The activities and breaks for young people aged from toddler to 25 with special educational needs and/or disabilities include cycling, holiday clubs, pony riding, swimming, fishing and drama.

This year more than 1,100 children and young people are expected to use the scheme with a full programme of events planned for the summer holidays.
