Connect! Short Breaks
Our Kent wide Short Breaks offer, Connect! is for neurodivergent children and young people aged 9-18. We offer a wide range of fun and inclusive activities that give children and their families the opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences in a supportive setting.
Our activities are led by welcoming and experienced Youth Programme Coordinators who prioritise creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. Through Connect! children and young people explore new interests, develop friendships, and experience the joy of being part of a group that values them for who they are.

What we’ve been up to…
Connect! supports children who have moderate needs related to neurodivergence as part of Kent County Council’s Short Breaks offer. Activities are held in a variety of settings e.g. leisure facilities, community halls, sports and water sports venues, towns, countryside etc. All activities are carefully risk assessed with adequate staff ratio to ensure safety and accessibility.
Alongside the Youth Programme Coordinators, we also have volunteers and other support staff assisting at groups. We cannot provide children with one-to-one support. If your child requires additional support to engage safely and confidently, please contact our Youth Programme Coordinator prior to booking. They will work with you to explore the best options for your child.
