Bespoke support - Our 555 Service offers urgent support to families of disabled young people aged 8 – 19 who are currently out of education.

This may be due to awaiting a suitable school placement, because the young person has been excluded, or because their current school place cannot provide the appropriate support.  

We offer a fun, safe space at Challengers during the day where our highly trained staff help young people to learn valuable life and social skills, build their confidence, and prepare them for a successful return to school.
