ARK RESPITE

Why us?

We provide short overnight breaks for children with disabilities between the ages of 4 and 18 years old.  The children who access The Ark may require personal care, medication, behavioural support and support with learning and achievements.

Our ethos is to provide children with care and support in a  fun, loving and safe way.

Based in a former church, The Ark has been designed and built specifically to create a child centred, non-clinical setting that aims to encourage broad spectrum child development in a safe, fun and comfortable space.

The centre promotes children and family’s wellbeing to assist families to continue to provide care at home.

The Ark is registered with Ofsted for a maximum of four children staying overnight.

If you think your child would benefit from a stay at The Ark then please contact your social worker.
