Short Breaks

For children and young people aged 7-19 with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND)

Vivacity's short breaks activities and holiday club provides opportunities for children and young people aged 7-19 with SEND to spend time away from parents and carers within quality services.

We feel it is important for children and young adults to come together to be social, engage in activities and support each other. We understand that a lot of children and young adults with SEND can often feel isolated in other mainstream environments, but at Vivacity Short Breaks they can relax in a quiet space, participate in tailored activities, make friends with others and have some fun.

Vivacity Short Breaks Club venue: The Focus Centre, Chestnut Ave, Peterborough PE1 4PE

We deliver:

1:4 Support

We are accessible to children and young adults with SEND who are able to manage their own behaviour. We operate as a 1:4 support group. A maximum of 12 participants to create a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Key Skills

To develop and strengthen social skills, encourage team building capabilities, to build and improve self-confidence.

A range of activities

Some of the activities participants can choose from include: reading, music & song, dance, arts & crafts, sports and much more.
