Family Stories

“

We had a lovely evening! Was the first time we've been somewhere and felt fully comfortable and at ease. Best event we've been to, thank you to everyone involved!

“

We had the best night with you all, such a feeling of togetherness and understanding, a little nod & smile as you went past each other — we all see it and just get it. Never alone again.

“

The attention to detail is amazing and the level of thought to how to make things accessible is amazing, thank you.

“

For the first time I felt like a regular parent. I did not worry about my son's loud stims. I actually had the best day I've had in a long time.

“

Finally, an event where our whole family felt comfortable, included, and understood. My son was able to be himself without any judgement whatsoever.

“

The accessible facilities were excellent, the parking was close, and the staff were so helpful. For once we did not have to worry about logistics. We just got to enjoy the day.

“

As a sibling I sometimes feel like events are not really for me too. At SEND Fest I felt completely included. There was so much for me to do and I had the best time.

“

I have never attended an event that has made me feel so seen and supported. The organisers truly understand what SEND families need. This is something special.
