Hawthorn Project
A service for families of children and young people with disabilities and special needs.
In partnership with Pembrokeshire County Council and Hywel Dda NHS Trust, we are here to help you access support and advice when you need it.
We help young people and their families access the help and support they are entitled to. Our friendly team is here to listen, advise and help you navigate the system. The phoneline is open weekdays, 9am to 5pm.
We can help give advice on all kinds of issues related to caring for a child or young person with special needs. If we haven’t got the information you need, we will find it for you.
We are open on Weekdays, 9am-5pm.
Please leave a message outside of these hours.
There is a comfortable small meeting room and a larger training room available at a small charge for any group who is involved with disabled children/young people. The child development team holds regular meetings in the centre, as do parent support groups.
A key worker scheme is available to families where a disabled child or young person is receiving services from more than two agencies. Key workers coordinate services, offer support to the whole family, provide information and act as an advocate when necessary. This services is available for ages 2-18 years for a period of 12 weeks with the aim to empower families, attend reviews, and liaise with other professionals with and on behalf of the families.
