Overnight Breaks
Offering safe, fun overnight breaks for children and young people with additional needs at our welcoming homes in Northamptonshire.
Action for Children are commissioned by Northamptonshire Children's Trust and Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board to provide an overnight break to children and young people whose families have been assessed by a Social Worker as needing an overnight break.
There are two homes in Northamptonshire, Squirrels and JGS, which give children and young people with the highest of needs the opportunity to have a 'sleepover' in a safe environment. Both homes are Ofsted registered and Squirrels is additionally CQC registered.
During their stay children and young people have the opportunity to socialise and make friends with others and enjoy fun activities
