Projects
Play Grant
The aim of the Project is to support young people aged 14-25 with a disability to access a mainstream sporting/leisure activity of their choice with support and for some eventually unsupported. Dynamic project workers support the young people for up to 4 hours a week in the evenings or at weekends.
They have tried a number of different activities including; mountain biking, laser quest, volunteering in the Dynamic shop, swimming, shopping, bowling, cinema, restaurant visits, disabled cycling, theatre group ,gym and football club.
During this year 20 young people accessed the scheme. Of these 12 were buddied up with a friend. While on the Project they have all been working towards agreed aims and targets to improve their levels of independence.
Two of the young people have gone on to access activities independently. One of these attends a local drama group. He has been involved in acting directing and writing plays. He is very active in representing young people with disabilities and has won two awards this year which recognize the contribution he has made.Two of the other young people have gone on to residential college. The project has allowed them to practice some of the independence skills they will need. The feedback from the parents has been very positive.
The young people really enjoy going out with someone other than their parents/Carers.
Daybreak
The aim of the Daybreak scheme is to provide funding to pay for care for children with a disability between the ages of 5 and 16 who qualify for disability allowance and their siblings, during school holidays. There are 101 families who have applied for Daybreak funding.
They were all asked to reapply this year because the age criteria had changed from 3 to 5. Parents/Careers can access up to 8 hours per week of the school holidays for each eligible child, at a provider of their choice, suitable to the needs of their child.
The scheme funds childcare for two half sessions per week, or one day session (total 8 hours), during school holidays
