Wheely Wonders Family Days

For Wellspring West Sussex

A family day with Woodland Wonders Forest School, farm fun and Lizzie’s Craft Club, specifically designed for children and young people with additional needs, their siblings, parents and carers.

Set at Applefield, a beautiful, intimate and private smallholding in Sidlesham.

Volunteers needed to support the leaders to run our activities and support children and young people. Parents are responsible for the children but additional support and encouragement to participate can be needed. All activities are designed to be accessible for everyone.

Also at the beginning and end of each day, setting up and clearing away equipment.

Skills

Volunteers need to be enthusiastic, supportive of the event and have an interest in families with SEND children/young people. This is a great opportunity for your CV or Duke of Edinburgh Award.
