Jam‑packed session yesterday for our monthly Sounding Special activity, led by the wonderful Laura 🎶✨

Our service users enjoyed a full hour of music and singing — it’s always such a joyful, uplifting experience!

These sessions usually sell out fast, but we still have a few spaces available across our July and August dates due to the activity taking place on a different day than usual over the summer ☀️🎤

Grab your spot via the link below and join the fun! 🎵💛

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 – 𝗙𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 ⚡

Federation of Sport isn’t just a venue — it’s a movement. Built on a passion for sport, technology, and community, their mission is to bring people together through shared experiences that inspire confidence, connection, and fun.

Special Stars are thrilled to be partnering with Federation of Sport to launch this brand‑new activity 🤝

Enjoy entrance to the Federation of Sport, plus full access to the Interactive Darts Station with a range of minigames, PlayStation consoles, and F1 simulators for just £7.50.

This marks the beginning of our commitment to offering more teen‑focused opportunities, which is why we’re running a teens‑only session this August. If you know a young person with SEND who would enjoy getting out of the house, socialising, and trying something different, this could be just the thing for them.
