Imago delivers two innovative programmes for our Short Breaks Service for disabled children and young people in Kent
- Imago Youth Cafes run fortnightly in each district for 8 – 15 year olds. These Cafes run after school during term time with a number of school holiday activity days also available. All sessions are fun learning opportunities, focusing on building confidence, participation, life skills and independence.
- Imago Saturday Club, for an older age group (15 – 19 years), offer monthly clubs as well as a number of school holiday activity days. Sessions focus on transition and progression by providing young people with activities that use local community facilities.
