South Eastern Trust hosts ‘Stronger Together’ information day supporting families of children with disabilities and additional needs
The South Eastern Trust is inviting parents and carers of children with disabilities and additional needs to attend its Stronger Together Information Day at the La Mon Hotel on Thursday March 19, 2026.
Running from 9.30am to 3.30pm, the Information Day is also open to school staff and professionals working with disabled or neurodiverse children and young people.
Families attending will be able to access information, explore activity and leisure opportunities and connect with other parents through peer support, all in one place.
A broad range of organisations will be represented, including local Sure Start programmes, disability charities, sporting organisations, education services, training and employment providers, advice services and a wide range of Trust Teams including Nursing, Social Work, Youth and Community Services, Social Care and Allied Health Professionals.
The Information Day will also include presentations covering topics such as self-compassion for parents and supporting children with sensory needs. Supports showcased will be relevant for families of children at every stage, from those awaiting diagnosis to young people with more complex needs, including those preparing for transition into adulthood.
South Eastern Trust, Head of Service for Children’s Disability, Lorraine Noade, said: “We are really excited to host our Stronger Together Information Day, bringing a wide range of organisations and services together under one roof. This will give parents and carers the opportunity to explore supports available locally and connect with services that meet the individual needs of their child and family.
“There is no need to pre-register and families or professionals can drop in at any time throughout the day. We look forward to welcoming as many people as possible.”
