Who we’re working with
SGPC work with the following organisations, you may see them at the community base or at our events
Send and You (SaY)
SEND and You's role as an information, advice, and support service (IASS) is to help children, young people and parents/carers build their knowledge, understanding, and confidence in SEND procedures, policies, practices, and law. This is to enable them to communicate their own needs, wishes, aims, and rights.
Every month SEND and You's South Glos Area Practitioner visits the Community Base to meet with parent carers face-to-face. Parent carers can sign up for a 15-minute session to discuss their concerns and receive information, advice and support from a trained adviser.
Gympanzees Partner Hub
The Lending Library is a cost-effective way to access a wide variety of sensory, play, and exercise equipment without the need to buy. Borrow items for a month, try them out, and swap for something new—perfect for keeping your child engaged and discovering what works best for their needs.
SGPC have partnered with Gympanzees and you can now collect items from the library from our community base on selected Tuesdays.
