Amazing Futures will run a holiday scheme over four weeks this summer. The scheme is for young people with special educational needs and disabilities aged 14 to 25 in Brighton & Hove.
Weeks 1 and 2
The first two weeks will take place at the Weller Youth Centre, Knoll Park in Hangleton.
- Tuesday 28 to Thursday 30 July, 10am to 4pm
- Tuesday 4 to Thursday 6 August, 10am to 4pm
There are 14 spaces available on this scheme, including two one-to-one places.
Weeks 3 and 4
Weeks 3 and 4 will be half day sessions in various Brighton venues.
- Tuesday 11 to Thursday 13 August, 10am to 1pm
- Tuesday 18 to Thursday 20 August, 10am to 1pm
These sessions are for young people who are more independent and can come to a variety of venues.
There are 14 spaces available again. We can’t provide one to one spaces at these sessions but young people are welcome to come with a PA.
Costs
The costs for each scheme are:
- £30 a day for weeks 1 and 2 (full day)
- £15 a day for weeks 3 and 4 (half day)
How to book
Bookings will open on Monday 8 June at 12 noon and close Monday 15 June at midday. All bookings and places will be confirmed with you by end of Friday 26 June.
You can book up to two days per young person, to ensure we can offer spaces to as many people as possible. If more days are available once we have allocated places, we will let you know.

About you
We went to go see one of the last remaining school air raid shelters from World War II, which was in Brighton, underneath Ditchling Road School, what is now known as Downs Junior School.
We got to have a full tour of the shelter. In the background was the air raid siren, and we got to see the benches where the children sat. At one point, we got to sit down and they played the sound of children singing, and showed a projection, so it looked like we were sitting with them. There were also TVs showing interviews of past school children talking about what it was like.
