There is a place for you here
Have you ever wanted to come to church, but found that the barriers of attending with your child with additional needs have made it difficult?
Maybe church hasn't felt accessible for your family. Or perhaps you've found yourself feeling disconnected from church altogether.
At Abbey Life Church, we want you to know that there is a place for you and your amazing children here.
This December we're launching SEN Sundays, beginning with a very special Christmas session on Sunday 20th December.
An invitation from us to you
Take a minute to meet us and hear what SEN Sundays is all about.
What a session looks like
Our sessions last an hour and a half. While your children enjoy their time with our team, there's space for you to breathe.
For your children
Play, explore and have fun
A safe, welcoming space where your children can come as they are, with volunteers who bring both knowledge and first-hand experience of additional needs.
For you
Hangout, connection and support
Relax with a cup of tea or coffee, connect with other SEN parents who understand your journey, and access pastoral support if you need it.
Because sometimes it's not just our children who need a place to belong. Parents need that too.
