Over 150 people attended a special event for families of young people with additional needs in Milton Keynes last week.
During an event organised by PACA MK, an independent and voluntary group of parents and carers of children and young people with disabilities or additional needs and the MK Special Educational Needs and Disability Service (SENDIAS) commissioned by MK Council, families received information and support from various organisations and services across Milton Keynes.
Organisations that attended included MK Council, health services and the private sector.
Arts and crafts, dancing and glass painting workshops were available for the children and young people.
Susan Akhtar, Chair of PACA MK"We were incredibly pleased to see so many parents join us on the day. It was a good opportunity for us to talk to families and understand their needs and concerns. Thank you to everyone who gave up their Saturday to hold the information stalls and workshops, the children certainly enjoyed seeing Field of Dreams. For our upcoming events, please check our website www.pacamk.org."
