Visitor numbers have increased from last year, the centre is regularly used by SEN schools, children’s respite services, adult residential facilities and disability community groups as well as families caring for an autistic child. The baby/preschool music stay and play group has continued during term time and we have ofered 76 sessions with 1094 children attending over the year, the group is for all abilities and around 25% of these children have additional needs and attend |
| the group due to the bespoke nature of the centre. Perkisound Visitor numbers for this period were 1,657, all Perkisound visitors have additional needs and most are children between the age of 3 and 16 who are on the autistic spectrum. |
