On Friday 20th June, we were thrilled to welcome families and professionals to The Street in Scarborough for our SEND Market Place - a warm, vibrant event designed to connect families with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to the wealth of support and opportunities available locally.
The atmosphere was amazing from start to finish. Families explored stalls, chatted with providers, and enjoyed light refreshments in a relaxed and welcoming space. For many, it was a chance to find out about activities, groups and services they hadn’t previously known about - helping reduce that all-too-common feeling of isolation in the SEND community.
After the main event, professionals stayed on for a networking session, creating valuable connections across the sector and opening the door to future collaboration.
It was fantastic to see so many families and organisations engaging with each other - thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a brilliant day!
