Our main activities normally include:- ## Swimming Classes Children are helped to engage in specially tailored swimming sessions, some with parents and/or siblings in the pool to promote confidence and the more advanced children partake on their own. These sessions run multiple times over each weekend. Where required and appropriate, children not progressing through regular sessions are given fully funded private sessions. ## Music Classes Our music classes have been scaled back but take place occasionally at our monthly Drop in ## Drop-in Sessions We host a monthly family oriented drop-in with activities for all of the family. ## Advice/Education We offer warm, positive advice to parents, especially those who have children who are newly diagnosed with extra needs. ## Speech Therapy We offer Speech Therapy with a local authority approved therapist monthly to supplement a local hiatus. Currently 10 children benefit from this activity. 3 May 2023 TAR ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; We have a number of extremely helpful volunteers who help to provide support in various ways such as admin, play work and fundraising. - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. |Section D|Achievements and performance|Achievements and performance| |---|---|---| |||| |**Summary of the main**
