“I wish we had attended SNAPS sooner, as it has had a big impact not only to my son but to me as a parent also.

“Lars struggled to access other football training and sports groups due to his disabilities, but was so desperate to try. When I saw football advertised at SNAPS it sounded perfect – so inclusive and welcoming of everyone no matter their ability. When Lars started attending, he was so happy.  The demands are lower and a slower pace to other sports groups he had attended which is just perfect for his needs, SNAPS’ football club has enabled him to become more confident in himself and his abilities and give more things a try. He has made some wonderful friends.

“As a parent, it’s been amazing to see his personality and self-esteem blossom. As a parent of a SEN child, I have also gained some new friends through SNAPS.  It’s been nice to find other parents that just get it.  We all support each other and each other’s children.

“Stay and play, attending summer events such as the day at Nell bank and the picnic have been so valuable to enable us to build the relationships with other families. The staff are wonderful so welcoming, knowledgeable and always have a listening ear and a cup of tea at the ready! They have really embraced us and made us feel like we belong!”
