Siblings Support Group – Families In Focus (Essex)
Fun activities for brothers and sisters (age 8+) of a child with a disability or special needs.

"I think it is really great because there are loads of people, who are there to talk to. They understand your brother or sister's disability".
"It is a really good idea because it is hard to take a disabled child out. Kidzspace (the name for sibling group) gives us a chance to be ourselves, be understood and accepted."
"Fun exciting, fantastic and wonderful."
"Somewhere to have fun, where you can chill out and visit new places."
