SEND activities directory
The SEND activities directory has been developed to provide free and impartial information to families about activities suitable for those with SEND within the local and surrounding area and offered online.
The directory includes services and activities offered by external organisations. Gateshead Council does not endorse, approve or quality‑assure any provider listed. Families and carers should carry out their own checks to confirm that a service meets their individual needs.
You can view this page in another language or listen to it being read out by clicking on the 'listen and translate' button in the top right hand corner.
Do you provide any inclusive activities for children and young people aged 0-25 with Special Educational needs and disabilities?
