The programme provides practical strategies to help support children who are feeling anxious about the move to secondary school. 💙

Get ready for a SENDLO Summer '26

Starting from today, we will share ideas for activities and days out.
Each week, we will highlight new SEND friendly options across Wirral and beyond

We know many of you will be holidaying in the UK. Here are three great platforms that help you plan your visits or days out wherever you are - links in comments.

🔷AccessAble
This website gives clear access information for places such as parks, museums and attractions. It explains things like parking, toilets, step-free access and quiet spaces. This can help you decide if a place is right for your family.

🔷Snowball
Snowball offers an online assessment. It helps families understand how accessible a venue or activity may be for their child or young person. This can support planning and reduce surprises on the day.

🔷Access Trails
Verified step‑free paths, clear access notes, and community‑shared routes. Plan your next outing with confidence.

You might want to make venues you visit aware of these sites, so they can share their accessibility too.

We hope these tools and our weekly updates help you plan safe, enjoyable time together this summer.

Follow this page to stay up to date and don't forget to check SENDLO What's On for details of all the SEND summer activities in Wirral. And if you find an activity or venue you think other SEND families would love this summer please tag Sendlo Wirral or use the hashtag

Bite-by-Bite: A Food Coaching Course for Parents

Delamere Community Centre, Eastham - Monday 6th July 2026 (9.30am - 2.15pm)

to book:- https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSes93Pe0FuRt0UXwHuAxnbJZ6b6Y2xMCIjXMIyu8FdiMQWBMQ/viewform

"It’s not just 'picky eating.' It’s a daily battle that most people don’t see." 🤍

If you are a parent or carer navigating the stress of sensory issues, food anxiety, or ARFID, we want you to know: You are not alone.

We are so grateful to Merseyside Women of the Year for featuring our new workshop, Bite by Bite. Designed by a parent who truly "gets it," this course isn’t about "perfect nutrition." It’s about the complex relationship our children have with food and the immense societal pressure we feel as parents to "fix it."

We’ve created a safe, judgment free space to tackle these challenges together. Read more about the heart behind this project in the full MWOTY article here:

Stay out of the direct sun, especially during the hottest part of the day, between 11am and 3pm, as UV rays are strongest during these hours.

Drink plenty of fluids and avoid excess alcohol during the hot weather. 🫗
