The Lighthouse After Hours - our first evening session
Work during the day and can’t make our daytime sessions? We’d love you to join us.
If you’re a parent or carer of a neurodivergent child, come along for a relaxed evening with people who understand. Have a cuppa, find support and share experiences. Sensory Library and shop will be open.
📅 Wednesday 28th October
🕖 7pm–8.30pm
📍 The Street, Unit 27, Scarborough

We've changed our name!! Cuppa+Connect is now 'The Lighthouse at Havenswood' to match our dad's group 'The Harbour' (and also to help us avoid confusion with other coffee and chat support groups that have a similar type name.) Our next group meets on Friday 2nd October at Unit 27, The Street Community Venue. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Havenswood Safe Spaces Project:
Our first Safe Spaces groups( age 9-14) that have been almost a year in the planning will at last launch in 2 weeks time!

These calm, welcoming groups are designed for neurodivergent children who may be:

• struggling to cope in school
• learning on a reduced timetable
• unable to attend school
• excluded or at risk of exclusion
• home educated or receiving EOTAS

Our September groups for ages 9-14 are full, but we have a waiting list for our next intake at Easter 2027, with only a small number of spaces left. Would you like a space?

We are also developing a new Key Stage 1 provision for children aged 5–8. If you would be interested in a place for your child, we would love to hear from you.

To register your interest in either provision, please contact Julie at [email protected].

HAVENSWOOD 15–19 PARENTS & TEENS FORUM
Would your young person benefit from more opportunities to make friends, build confidence and enjoy activities with others - OR are you a young person with SEND in this age group who feels isolated and would like more accessible opportunities to socialise ?
Our community life team is exploring a new social and activity programme for older teens, aged 15–19 with SEND who don’t have complex support needs but may find mainstream clubs or social settings difficult to access.
Activities might include:
* Climbing
* Basketball
* Football
* Archery
* Watersports
* Creative Makers(design it, make it, wear it, sell it)
* Jewellery making
* Other social, sporting and outdoor activities
We'd like to bring interested parties (both parents and teens) together to hear their thoughts and better understand what young people in this age group need. At this stage, we’re inviting expressions of interest from families. There is no commitment required - the forum will help us shape what we develop…
BUT before we organise a meet up we would like to know if you would come along!??
If you have a young person aged 15–19 who may be interested, we would love to hear from you. If we have enough interest then we will go ahead.
Please contact Julie at [email protected] to let us know if you would be interested and what days/times you would most easily be able to attend.
