SNAPS

SNAPS vision is to be an inspirational place connecting families and children with a wide range of challenges and opportunities. We aim to promote health and well-being for all by providing opportunities for people to meet, learn, play, and build relationships. We are an inclusive organisation, involving the whole family, including siblings with no special needs.

In 2004 We identified an unmet demand for hydrotherapy, swimming, and physical activity experiences, all of which can have such a positive impact on both the children with additional needs and their families.. Based in West Yorkshire, we work with families to improve physical and mental wellbeing by providing sport & leisure services, including hydrotherapy and rebound therapy sessions, (making use of a trampoline) and swimming lessons to dramatically improve their lives and future opportunities. We also provide fun activities such as music therapy, dance classes, sing and sign classes, sensory activities, football sessions and free play in a safe environment. We aim to deliver these much-needed services for the whole family whilst also providing parents and carers the opportunity to share information, ideas, and experiences.

During the pandemic, many of the families we work with have suffered disproportionately having already felt isolated and under supported. Sadly, many are now in crisis and need more support urgently. We identified a need for more formal support and therefore launched a new Family Support Project in April 2021 to ensure our families had the help they desperately needed
