Space Cheshire

At SPACE, we are dedicated to providing accessible play and support to children with additional needs and their families. Our centre offers a range of facilities, including a sensory room, accessible soft play, and various activities such as messy play, art and craft, and role play. We also run a variety of groups, including family play sessions, after school clubs, pre-school groups, and open play sessions for all abilities. In addition, we prioritize supporting parent carers by providing information, access to other organizations, and opportunities to meet others in similar situations. Our mission is to relieve the isolation experienced by children with additional needs and their families by offering fully accessible support and facilities, and our dedicated team of volunteers, staff, and trustees are committed to achieving this mission.

We are proud to have a positive impact on the lives of children with additional needs and their families, as well as on parent carers and siblings. By providing a welcoming and inclusive environment, we aim to alleviate the challenges of isolation and lack of support that these families often face. Through our accessible play facilities and support services, we are able to create a sense of community and belonging, ultimately improving the overall well-being and quality of life for those we serve. Our work is driven by the passion and determination of our team, as well as the ongoing support of our members and volunteers, all of whom contribute to the positive change we strive to bring about in the lives of those we support.

At SPACE we provide a safe, inclusive environment where children can be themselves, access tailored support, and build meaningful friendships. Alongside our core services, we also recognise the vital role that siblings play within families and the unique challenges they may face. Our Sibling Group runs every&nbsp;Wednesday and Thursday&nbsp;from 6:00pm to 7:00pm and is specifically designed for the brothers and sisters of children with additional needs. These sessions focus on emotional wellbeing, offering a safe space where children can relax, have fun, and connect with peers who share similar experiences. Through structured activities, games, and open conversation, the group encourages children to express themselves, build resilience, and gain confidence — all within a supportive and understanding environment. The sessions are led by experienced staff who are passionate about supporting the whole family. Sessions are free of charge, but places are available only to families registered with SPACE.
