Beckly provides play, social and informal learning opportunities for children and young people aged between 6 and 25 in small mixed capacity / age / ability groups.
Sessions operate at weekends throughout the year and on weekdays in school holidays from accessible premises in Plymstock. Each session has a theme and a mix of activities will be offered to encourage participation, social interaction and engagement and developing personal skills and independence. Programmes with dates and details are available from the Beckly Office and sessions can be booked as and when families need.
All activities are offered on an open access basis so that families can self refer and book sessions directly with us but we also accept placements funded through the Local Authority or other agencies as part of care packages. Childcare Vouchers are also accepted
