KIDSZONE & TEENZONE.

We have dedicated and exciting youth groups catering for young people from ages 8 to 17 with a disability. 

 

Kidszone and Teenzone meet every Monday evening from 17:00 during term time and our aim is to have lots of fun within the community. It’s a wonderful way to join in with your peers, helping to develop social skills and promoting independence. It’s also a lovely way for parents to connect and socialise with other parents who have children with disabilities. Siblings are welcomed and included too.

We first met BIDS in 2017 after our paediatrician told us about them. At the time O was beginning to realise that she had different needs to the other children in her class (none of them had a feeding tube or used a wheelchair or wore nappies). The doctor thought it would be good for O to meet other children who may look a bit like her or have some similar needs, with S and A having Autism and ADHD traits we thought it would help them as well as they struggled to communicate and socialise with other people.
 
We chose BIDS specifically as the activities were able to cater to all 3 girls needs, as well as myself being able to talk with other parents who have children with similar needs. With BIDS we have been able to regularly meet up with Kids Zone / Teen Zone. The girls have all become more confident since starting going to BIDS, they feel accepted even if they are having a tricky day. If we hadn't joined BIDS we probably wouldn't go out places as much as we do, I also think the girls would be a lot less confident than they are now.

Our children’s social groups have grown over the last few years and we have over 25 children and young people regularly attending these groups giving children opportunities to make lasting friendships and enjoy some fantastic activities such as bowling, swimming, Lazerzone, the cinema and eating out. This helps the children grow and develop into fantastic individuals.
