New centre in Hurn for children with special needs
Diverse Abilities, Dorset’s disability charity, is to move its Children’s Short Breaks Services from West Moors to a new base at Hurn.
The Diverse Abilities’ Children’s Short Breaks Services will move from West Moors to the site of Adventure Wonderland in Hurn, Bournemouth. It will be known as The Treehouse.
This will include play sessions for SEND children and teenagers aged two to 18. These include sessions for the whole family, for children to attend alone; siblings support sessions and family support.
The services that will move are Coping with CHAOS, Project, Awesome Nights, STARs siblings support, and Family Support Sessions.
Mark Powell, CEO at Diverse Abilities, said: “This is such an exciting development for everyone involved and we are thrilled to be able to expand our reach.”
The charity will be opening its doors at its new site in time for the 2024 Easter holidays and welcomes any support from the community and businesses looking to fundraise for the refurbishment work, or to volunteer to help with painting, decorating, and gardening.
