Short Breaks in Staffordshire
(Aiming High)
Activity Guide
January - March 2015
Activities for children and
young people with
a disability or
additional need and
their families
in Staffordshire
2
Welcome to the Aiming High Activity Guide.
To help with planning, Aiming High activities are displayed in the calendars
starting on page 3. For full details of our activities please see the listings starting on page 6.
Who can take part and do parents/carers have to stay?
Activities are open to children and young people with a disability or additional need aged up to and including 17, who live in
Staffordshire. Parents/carers must stay with their child for some of the activities. For other activities, parents/carers and
siblings are also welcome to take part if they choose. Please see individual adverts for more details on this.
Is there a charge for activities?
The majority of Aiming High activities are completely FREE, however, a voluntary contribution is requested by some providers.
Where applicable this will be highlighted in the individual adverts.
How to book places and find out more information
Providers handle all of their own bookings and so to book places please contact the providers listed directly. You do not
need to register with the Aiming High Team first.
If you are unsure about whether any of the activities will be suitable please speak to our providers who will be happy to answer
questions or talk through any concerns you have.
If you book an activity and can no longer attend you MUST let the provider know with as much notice as possible.
When places are booked and then not taken up it means other families have missed out and it also wastes money for
short breaks.
