Menphys “Caring for local children and young people with disabilities…supporting the family.”

Menphys was founded in 1969 to support children and young people with disabilities and their families – our work is just as necessary and important today. Menphys provides a range of services, some of them in partnership with Leicestershire County Council. The Menphys Special Outreach Service supports children and young people aged 0 – 19 and their families. Supports Saturday clubs offering a wide range of sport and leisure activities

MENPHYS NEEDS TO RAISE £500,000 EACH YEAR TO MAINTAIN AND DEVELOP THIS WORK.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO TEAM MENPHYS!

What an incredible morning we had yesterday at Run Leicester Festival 2026! ❤️

It was amazing to see so many red Menphys t-shirts out on the course, with our fantastic runners taking on the 10K and Half Marathon in support of Menphys!

We were also incredibly honoured to have a very special member of Team Menphys joining us, The Lord-Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Mike Kapur OBE! We were absolutely thrilled to have him running alongside our team and supporting Menphys.

To every single one of our runners, whether you were chasing a personal best, taking on your first 10K or Half Marathon, or simply determined to cross that finish line, we are SO proud of you!

We know how much time, training and determination goes into preparing for a challenge like this, and we can't thank you enough for choosing to support Menphys.

Every mile you ran, every pound you raised and every bit of support you showed is helping us make a real difference to disabled children, young people and their families across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

It was about so much more than crossing the finish line. By choosing to run for Menphys, you've helped us continue creating opportunities, bringing families together and making special memories that will last a lifetime.

A huge thank you also to our wonderful volunteers and everyone who came along to cheer on Team Menphys. The encouragement, smiles and support throughout the morning made it even more special!

Congratulations to every single one of you! You absolutely smashed it, and we're so lucky to have such an amazing community of people supporting Menphys! ❤️🏅

📣 Understanding an EHCP – Parent & Carer Workshop

Educational Health and Care Plans can feel complicated, especially when you are trying to understand whether your child needs one, how to request an assessment, or whether the support written into a plan is actually meeting their needs.

Our Do I need an EHCP workshop is designed to give parents and carers practical information to help them feel more informed and confident when navigating the SEND system.

During the workshop, we will explore:

• What an Educational, Health and Care Plan is and when a child or young person may need one
• The benefits of having an EHCP
• How to request an Education, Health and Care needs assessment
• What happens during the EHCP process
• Understanding needs, outcomes and SMART provision
• Personal budgets and what they can be used for
• Alternative provision when a child is struggling to access school
• When specialist support or specialist provision may need to be considered
• What you can do if an assessment or support is refused

There will also be an opportunity for questions and reflection, helping you think about where your child is in their EHCP journey and what your next steps might be.

Whether you are considering requesting an EHCP, waiting for an assessment, reviewing an existing plan or simply want to understand the process better, this workshop is here to help.

Our clubs are back at The Menphys Hub! 🎉💙

It has been wonderful welcoming children, young people and families back to the Hub this week.

We've welcomed back our Neurodivergent Girls Club, Little Treasures, Under 5's Nurture Club and Afterschool Nurture Club - with lots of smiles, activities and opportunities to reconnect after the summer.

We even welcomed the lovely Leomi, who joined our Afterschool Nurture Club to enjoy some yoga with the children. 🧘‍♀️💚

Our clubs are about creating safe, welcoming spaces where children can have fun, build confidence, make friendships and, most importantly, feel that they belong.

It's great to have everyone back – we've missed you! 💙
