🌟🌟🌟 Exciting News ! - Sunday 28th June,
10.30am, ABACAS Special School 🌟🌟🌟

We are delighted to announce **two fantastic events running in tandem**, designed to support the whole family in a fun, inclusive, and understanding environment. We will be running 2 more of these events in July and August.

💙 **Sensory Sunday – Autism Friendly Family Event**
A relaxed and welcoming event where autistic children and their families can enjoy activities, connect with others, and have fun in a sensory-friendly setting. There will be sensory play stations with messy fun and our Parent Information Officer Trish will there.

💛 **Sibling Workshop (SibShop)**
A special workshop created just for siblings of children with additional needs. SibShops provide a supportive space where siblings can meet others with similar experiences, share stories, build connections, and most importantly, have fun! 1 ticket per child (small fee applies)

By running these events together, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for every member of the family to feel supported, included, and valued.
