Welwyn Hatfield Breakout Project for young people aged 11-17 with SEND - 24/09/2026

The Breakout Project is designed for young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) aged 11 to 17, including those with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. The focus is on developing communication and interpersonal skills, confidence and self-esteem in a safe and supportive environment.

Young people will get support from qualified SfYP youth workers, meet other young people with SEND in their area and learn skills to help them live more independently. SfYP Youth Workers also offer individualised support with emotional wellbeing, healthy relationships, staying safe, nutrition and cooking, and managing money.

Every Thursday during term time, 7-9pm
