Chairperson's Statement 202412025
Special Need Circle East Midlands
This year has been one of growth, connection, and meaningful impact for families across our
community. Our Family Support Centre at Gresley Old Hall, Church Gresley, has continued to
be a safe, welcoming, and vibrant hub where children, young people, and their families can find
understanding, guidance, and a sense of belonging.
Our programme of events this year has been both ambitious and successful. We kicked off our
events calendar with a very successfulvalentines themed Baby Rave in our sensory room. Our
two EHCP workshops proved invaluable for parents navigatingthe complexities of the education
system, offering practical support and empowering families with knowledge and confidence. An
evening shopping event held in November proved a very successful fundraising event,
increasing our budgetfor the event which rounded off our year, a Meet Santa Christmas event.
This was a heart-warming highlight, creating magical memories for children and givingfamilies a
chance to celebrate together in an inclusive environment.
Alongside these special events, our regular groups have continued to thrive. Mini Circle, running
every Tuesday and Thursday for children under five, has remained a cornerstone of early-years
support, offering sensory play, social interaction, and a nurturing space for parents and carers
to connect. We were delighted to welcome families backto our JuniorActivity Youth Club, which
has always been a huge success. Our Home Education Social Group for both primary and
secondary-aged children has also gone from strength to strength, providing a vital opportunity
for young people to build friendships, develop confidence, and enjoy shared learning
experiences. Our parent support is always the heart of what we do, and our monthly cuppa
meets have been well attended and a valuable lifeline for parents and carers in need of advice,
signposting, or just a listening ear.
As we look ahead to 2025-2026, we remain focused on expanding our reach, strengthening our
services, and continuing to champion the needs of children and families with SEND. Together,
we WILL keep building a community where every family feels supported, valued, and empowered.
