Founded in 1988, PLUS works across the Forth Valley to improve the lives of children and young adults with disabilities, and their families. Along with our trustees, staff and volunteers, we aspire to work alongside the young people we support and their families, joining them in their journey’s from diagnosis, throughout education and into early adult life
Our founding families believed that children with disabilities had as much right as anyone else to an ordinary social life – we still strongly believe this. As our tag line states, disabilities are no barrier to fun!
With support from PLUS, over 240 children, young people and adults with additional support needs have the opportunity to develop some independence from their parents and carers, whilst spending quality time with their peers.
PLUS offers parents and carers regular short breaks, which strengthens their family unit, whilst providing a fun and exciting activity for their child to attend. We think this is a win win situation! These short breaks both increase the capacity and resilience of families to continue in their caring roles.
Our services are accessed by children, teenagers and younger adults (up to age 35) and their families from across the Forth Valley (Stirling, Clackmannanshire and Falkirk).
