Imago - Short Breaks


Imago delivers two new and innovative programmes for our Short Breaks Service for disabled children and young people in Kent.

Youth Cafés for 8-15 year olds, focusing on building confidence, participation, life skills and independence. (2hrs once a fortnight)

Saturday Clubs for 15-19 year olds, focusing on transition and progression, providing young people with activities that utilise the facilities in their local community (6hrs once a month)

Sessions are offered in every district of Kent and are heavily subsidised with a small parental contribution, which is waived in case of hardship. Children will also be offered additional full day activities which will take place in school holidays.

To access the service please make a referral at: www.imago.community/short-breaks-service
