About us
Special Families was formed in March 2014 to enrich the lives of families who are living with children who have disabilities or additional needs in and around East Grinstead.
We are a support group for parent-carers We are non profit organisation. We offer activities, support, courses and information for the whole family.
You do not need a diagnosis or referral to join us as often this is the time when support is needed the most.
Our children have a wide range of disabilities or additional needs ranging from ADHD, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Chromosome disorders, Down Syndrome, Dyspraxia, Epilepsy, learning disabilities and visual impairments.
We provide the environment for children with additional needs and their families to build lasting relationships. Helping our children have the opportunity to grow and develop together through play and activities.
Our closed Facebook group offers our members peer to peer support, information sharing & an opportunity to ask questions. Non parent-carers can follow us on our public Facebook page.
Please take a look around our website to see how we can help you and your family.
Purely run by parent / carers with children who have special needs.
Our group is informal, friendly and supportive. We encourage families with all ranges of conditions or disabilities to join us, as regardless of the additional need, every family will experience similar concerns and issues.
We host coffee mornings with guest speakers, social evenings, workshops and events. In partnership with other organisations we promote and facilitate inclusive special needs events in the local area, providing fun for our children throughout the year.
