The group meets twice a week during term time:
The Group
 
Tuesday:
Friday:
     10am to 12:30
9:30am to 12:30
 

The group is run by parents of special needs children and is based in the Union buildings, Hospital Hill, Aldershot. There is no charge for attending the group and there is always plenty of tea, coffee and organic orange juice. Community events and trips out are also organised for disabled children and their families.
 
 

The café style room



There is a café style room for parents and carers along with a designated area for the children to play. We have plenty of toys and games for the kids and free tea and coffee making facilities for the adults. The emphasis of the group is to ensure that disabled children and their families fom both military and local civilian community are able to join forces and befriend one another.
