Playplus

Works with children with disabilities aged 5 -11

Play PLUS provides support for children to attend holiday, weekend and evening group play activities. These include themed activity days at the PLUS office, as well as activities in the community like soft play, swimming, trampolining and trips to the cinema.

At all events, each child is allocated a support worker to ensure they are safe and supported to engage and interact with their peers.

‘J really looks forward to his PLUS days. More of them would be great! These are the only times he spends outwith his family and we are totally confident of his safety and enjoyment – that’s a big PLUS!’

Services can be covered through Social Work Care Plans or Direct Payments.  If living within the Stirling Council area, block funding is available for children who do not have allocated social workers

Plus Youth

Works with young people with disabilities aged 12-17.

PLUS Youth provides holiday, weekend and evening group activities with the aim of allowing young people more opportunities to socialise and try new things.  Young people can choose from a wide range of activities, such as dance workshops, laser tag, bowling, themed crafts or relaxed movie nights.  Events take place both in the PLUS office and out in the wider community.  At all events each young person is allocated a support worker to ensure they are safe and supported to engage and interact with their peers.

Plus Youth services can be funded by Social Work Care Plans or Direct Payments.  If living within the Stirling Council area block funding is available for young people who do not have allocated social workers.

This project is currently led by Bailey Green.
