Who is SNAPS for?
SNAPS provides support services for children with additional needs of all kinds, and their families.
Children do not need a formal diagnosis to access SNAPS’ services. Families can self-refer, or be referred by another organisation. We are based in Leeds, but accept children from any location.
What does SNAPS provide?
We provide weekly physiotherapist-led hydrotherapy and rebound sessions, along with swimming, arts and crafts, dance, sign and sing, boccia, storytelling and music therapy. We also run weekly accessible football sessions for children with additional needs and their siblings.
Our Family Support Project delivers more in-depth support for parents and carers between our weekend sessions.
All of our sessions are supported by professional and dedicated staff. You can find a full list of our services here.
When does SNAPS operate?
SNAPS’ family sessions run on Saturdays during term time, between 9.30am and 1.30pm. Children are allocated a 20-minute slot for hydrotherapy, rebound therapy or swimming, for a term at a time. Families are welcome to stay and enjoy our hall activities for as long as they like.
Our football clubs are from 10.00-11.00am.
The Family Support Project offers regular walk and talks and meetings, please contact Ali for further details.
How do I book a session?
You must book some of our sessions in advance. These include hydrotherapy, swimming, rebound and football. We will then give your child a regular, weekly time slot for the whole term.
To access our services, please complete this form and a member of the SNAPS team will be in touch. If you have any queries about services, please get in touch with our Children’s Services Manager, Jo: jo@snapsyorkshire.org
Where is SNAPS?
We currently operate out of two sites for our Saturday sessions: Penny Field School and Broomfield School. These are both Specialist Inclusive Learning Centres.
Saturday football and multisport sessions are held at Broomfield, and Sunday football sessions are held at Middleton Leisure Centre. Family Support walk and talks and meetings happen at venues in North and South Leeds.
