It's volunteers week, so what better way to celebrate then by doing what we do best...

Being there to support the neurodiverse community. Currently we are at a coffee morning at Beanfield primary school in Corby until 10.30am.

Tomorrow we have our own monthly morning meeting at the Eden Centre. 9.30-11.30am children are welcome.

We have so much on and so much more planning in the background.

We do what we do because we care and just want to help people not feel alone and to know they have support. We do what we do to put on events tailored to help people attend. There's never any judgement or pressure but there is care, compassion and empathy.

Check out the volunteer fair today and come and see the SEND area. The SEND Hub first launched at Kettering by the sea last year and made attending the event so much easier for many families. To keep the hub going this year at Kettering by the sea we need your support. Please can you volunteer to do a morning or afternoon of manning the hub at Kettering by the sea. We require volunteers to be DBS checked which can be arranged if you don't have a DBS certificate already.

Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering and we can forward details on to you.

Please help keep the hub open to support so many families and individuals. There's no age limit to who can attend it's there to support anyone who needs it 💜
