Special Needs Out of School Club (In Beds) - SNOOSC

Special Needs Out of School Club (SNOOSC) is a registered charity providing Leisure opportunities for children and young adults aged from 8 to 25 years who have a special educational need and/or disability. Our members come from schools within the wider community across Bedfordshire and Luton enabling them to access Saturday and Holiday Respite Clubs, activities, venues and trips. SNOOSC is based in Houghton Regis. SNOOSC offers am sessions (10am-1pm), afternoon sessions (1pm-4pm) and full sessions (10am-4pm).

For dates of upcoming Saturday Respite Clubs and Holiday Respite clubs, please visit our website below.

SNOOSC recognises that each child/young adult is an individual with their own interests and needs. We believe that children/young adults with special needs/disabilities should have the same opportunities to participate in social and leisure activities as do their peers. We aim to support each child and young adult to successfully access activities, venues, and trips alongside both disabled and mainstream peers.

ALL SNOOSC services offer a Short Break/Respite service for club members, Parents/Carers, siblings and other family members. Our specialism offers a one-to-one service for club members. Our Staff/Buddies/Volunteers help with transition, life-skills ,support and encouragement. ALL SNOOSC Staff/Buddies/Volunteers are DBS checked.
