Foxgloves offers short respite care to Children and young people aged 8 – 18yrs who have learning difficulties which include Autism, and or challenging behaviour.

The provision of this vital service is essential in providing support to families which enables them to continue to care for their child/children at home on a day to day basis.

The aim is to assist and support children and young people so they can develop independence skills and build self esteem in a safe, relaxed stimulating environment much like a home from home.

Most children and young people are able to access this while also enjoying socializing along side their peers and just having fun, however sometimes it may be more appropriate to offer this service in a quieter environment on a 1-1 basis.
Foxgloves will always aim to meet the individual needs of each young person.

Foxgloves are fortunate in having an outdoor swimming pool which in the past has been able to provide the children/young people with hours of endless fun and enjoyment. It also had a therapeutic value for those young people who have more complex health needs or challenging behaviour.
Unfortunately we have been unable to access the pool for many years due to essential maintenance needing to be carried out and general updating to ensure the pool meets Health and Safety Standards.

Foxgloves needs to raise a considerable amount of cash so that the work can be carried out so that once again this great leisure activity can be offered to children and
Young people of Foxgloves.

Thank you for supporting this event tonight you are helping children and young people with learning difficulties and challenging behaviour in Bedfordshire in their long term development of emotional, physical, and social skills.
