Saturday Adventure Team

Offers families with children and young people with additional support needs daytime respite, every second Saturday!

Our popular Saturday Adventure Team sessions for 5-18 year olds has been running since 2016. Currently running for children and young people in Edinburgh, East Lothian and West Lothian once a fortnight.

For children, it is an opportunity to play with their peers in a non-judgmental environment, supported by staff who understand their needs. For parents and carers, it is an opportunity to relax, spend time with siblings, pop to the shops and enjoy the benefits of respite.

Every session, we run a series of activities based off fun and dynamic themes such as science, nature, the seaside, animals or sport. All children are free to join in with a wide variety of structured activities or do their own thing with the help and guidance of our amazing support staff.

The West Lothian Saturday Adventure Team is run in partnership with West Lothian Council and spaces are allocated by West Lothian Child Disability Service, to enquire about a space please contact West Lothian Child Disability Service directly on 01506 282252.

The Edinburgh Saturday Adventure Team spaces are allocated to families in receipt of self-directed support, in partnership with CEC Social Work.
