Activities for children and young people with additional needs
There is a variety of activities in Newham that children and young people with special educational needs or disability can take part in.
Some of these activities may be specifically for children and young people with special educational needs or disabilities, others may be for all children and young people.
Often these activities are run by people or groups independent of us. We are with community groups and schools to help make sure that all events and activities are as accessible as possible.
