SNAPS (Special Needs and Parent Support) is based in Leeds and provides support services for children with additional needs of all kinds, and their families. Their aim is to support the entire family by enabling the child, along with siblings, parents and other carers to participate in a shared experience of physical activity, fun and conversation in relaxed surroundings. Children do not need a formal diagnosis to access SNAPS’ services, families can self-refer to the charity or be referred by another organisation and they accept children from any location.
What does SNAPS provide?
They provide weekly physiotherapist led hydrotherapy and rebound sessions, along with swimming, arts and crafts, dance, sign and sing, boccia, storytelling and music therapy. These sessions are a great opportunity for families to come together and meet other people in a similar situation. They also run weekly accessible football sessions for children with additional needs and their siblings whilst their Family Support Project aims to deliver more in-depth support for parents and carers between our weekend sessions.
We are delighted to announce that our Charity of the Year 2023 is SNAPS.
Over the past 12 months
SNAPS have been able to support approximately 180 families every month across Leeds and West Yorkshire and delivered:
180 counselling sessions
726 rebound therapy sessions
363 swimming lessions
363 hydrotherapy sessions
70 football sessions
