PACSO provides play and social opportunities for children and young people with disabilities, and much needed respite for parents and carers in Chichester and Arun districts in West Sussex.

We welcome children and young people of all ages (0-25) and disabilities – physical, learning and behavioural.

Our services include a range of clubs and activities staffed by experienced play specialists who provide the high level of care and support each young person needs to thrive in our care. This includes support to move around, eat and drink, communicate or to regulate their emotions, as well as providing adaptations so everyone can get involved in the activities on offer, whatever their disability or needs.

This allows the child to attend alone, offering them independence from their family, whilst giving parent carers the respite they so desperately need. We also run activities that the whole family can enjoy together, supporting strong family bonds and resilience.

All PACSO activities are designed to be inclusive and fun, to build resilience, independence and self-esteem. We provide a diverse choice of clubs and activities to meet the wide range of needs of children we support, both in secure school settings and out and about in the community.
