What we offer Short breaks GetActive @ The Green GetActive @ The Green GetActive @ The Green is a Short Breaks service for young people with complex needs and disabilities aged 12 - 18. Sessions run from 11 am to 3pm on Saturdays and focus on physical activities, inclusive sport and active play. Our weekly sessions are designed to help young people get out and about, socialise and engage with their community. As part of the programme we will work with you and your young person to train them how to travel to and from sessions. We pick young people up from their homes, travel to the session together, and return to your home afterwards. This helps them to gain confidence in travelling and building life skills.

Most activities are held at our fully accessible Fortune Green Playcentre, with occasional trips to outside activities.
