Summer 2016
Summer 2016
This booklet provides a list of activities
available through the short breaks
programme (which are subsidised by the
Isle of Wight Council).
What is Short Breaks?
Short breaks is a statutory service funded by the
Early Intervention Grant and aims to increase activity
opportunities available for children and young people
with disabilities and/or additional needs to participate
in. This in turn provides a ‘short break’ for parents/carers
while their child or young person participates in a safe,
fun and enjoyable activity which meets their needs.
To achieve this, short breaks offers a range of afterschool clubs, evening and weekend activities and
overnight stays for children and young people (up to
their 19th birthday).
Additionally, short breaks provides a range of facilities
for families to use; including short breaks lodge at
Nodes Point and the short breaks caravan at Lower
Hyde along with hoists, Landeez wheelchairs which
enhance accessibility on the Isle of Wight.
All information in this booklet is correct at the
time of print.
