TAG Youth Club
A £10,000 grant from OneRichmond helped TAG Youth Club offer day trips, short breaks and Parkour sessions for young carers and young people with additional needs in the local area.
With support from trained instructors, and using specialist equipment, the young people were able to take part in fun activities tailored to their individual needs, including a high rope course, climbing, and abseiling.
The fun day trips and short breaks provided opportunities for young people to connect with their peers and make new friends. They also gave parents a break from their caring responsibilities.
“TAG has been our salvation over the last year but particularly the last few months. With group sessions opening up again, our daughter has multiple days to look forward to. And that really takes the stress off us as a family. No one else is providing consistent local activities for disabled young people like our daughter.
She comes home happier and is always full of what she has done, and who she has spoken to. She is proud of her achievements at TAG and for someone who was frightened to join in anything, she has come a long way thanks to the sensitive support of amazing staff. Her confidence and happiness have both benefitted from attending TAG”
