Comment: | Cheltenham and District Carers and Families (CADCAF), an independent voluntary organisation, is a support group for families and carers in the Cheltenham area who have children with special needs. The group offers practical help, mutual support, and the opportunity to exchange information. An after school club is available (eight to fifteen years) for Special Needs children only, held every Wednesday (term time only) and holiday activities. The group holds coffee mornings once a month at Battledown. Guest speakers often attend these coffee mornings. A Toy Library takes place once a month from 10:00am to mid-day (on a Saturday) and activities and coach trips are arranged during the school holidays.
They also arrange siblings only activities and therapy sessions for parents / carers (reflexology, shiatsu and Indian head-massage). Activities may include bowling, ice-skating, cinema, horseriding, theatre trips and arts and crafts sessions. |
