Leisure

There are a range of leisure activities available in Swindon including:

Universal activities for all children and young people
Targeted activities for children and young people who may need additional support, or services designed specifically to meet their needs
Specialist activities for children and young people with complex needs

All children should have the opportunity to enjoy community activities and disabled children should have access to recreational pursuits and clubs that fulfil their needs.

Short Breaks for Disabled Children

The Aiming High Team provides opportunities for disabled children and young people (up to the age of 18) living in the Borough of Swindon to enjoy a range of short break services. This offers them an essential opportunity to experience different places, people and activities. It also supports parents and carers by allowing them to have a break from their caring responsibilities.
