Who Are We?
As a group of parents of children with special needs. We became aware that within the Stockport area there are no groups that support all family members. Most groups are run during the day therefore restricting access for the working partner and siblings. The ABC Family Group runs on a Saturday with all family members invited. It is an opportunity to meet other families and share experiences in a supportive and fun environment.
ABC+ is a youth group specifically for special needs teenagers aged 11 to 16. A fun teenage atmosphere is created by providing games consoles (Wii, Sony Playstation 2), football table, snooker tables, group activities run by experienced volunteers.
If you've been struggling to find a youth group in Stockport that fails to fit your particular special needs, then feel free to meet like-minded friends, and where you are guaranteed to find new friends and have lots of FUN!
Parents/Carers will need to accompany their children but there will be a separate room for Parents and carers to relax away from their teenagers

Current fundraising is towards a potential holiday scheme later in the year to address the schemes being cancelled due to Stockport Council cutting funding. The cuts mean one-to-one care is not being provided for our most vulnerable children which have the minimum amount of access to clubs in the best of times. Effectively keeping them in their homes during the school holidays.
What Do We Do?
The aim of the ABC Family Group is to provide a setting for all the family within a play environment. All children/teenagers and parents/carers should feel relaxed with plenty of toys, games and activities to keep everyone busy. It is an opportunity for families to make friends with families in a similar position and share experiences.
