North Yorkshire Sport have been given some funding via the CCG to support children with autism to take part in the North Yorkshire holiday activity programme called FEAST. The providers of the activities offer free places for children on benefit-related free schools meals. The fund is exclusively to provide additional support workers to allow 1-1 or more specific care to enable children with autism to benefit from participating in the activities alongside others, it also provides respite care for families.
The providers and activities will not be listed on the website (in the link at the bottom) until closer to the summer, but they will either be physical activity or arts/crafts based. To start the ball rolling, NY Sport are asking parents/guardians who would require a support worker for their child to take part in FEAST to complete this expression of interest form. NY Sport will make contact with everyone individually to further discuss need.
