February half term saw the first SEND multi-sport activity day delivered by Wiltshire Councils Sports Development team and Wiltshire Inclusive Dance (WID).
Held at Melksham Community Campus, 26 children and young adults took part in a variety of engaging, inclusive activities including boccia, golf, parachute games, football, and dance, with several new dance moves and styles created throughout!
The day consisted of two 3-hour sessions (morning and afternoon) with individuals having the option of attending one or both sessions.
A great time was had by all, new friendships were formed, and smiles lit up faces throughout the day!
Feedback from parent/carers included:
Thank you SO much, H loved his session this morning
Thank you for a lovely morning, and for everything you all do to support our worlds
Thank you for a lovely day, after attending both sessions L is exhausted but said she really enjoyed it!
