Active Respite has been a registered charity since the 13th of December 2022. We are a dedicated team of people who decided to make a change! Despite being from different career paths; social work, finance, HR, and even video games - we all had one common goal.

Our goal was to support children to follow their passion for activities they love, but haven’t had the opportunity to try out yet. We knew that by providing children with this opportunity, family members would have time to seek their own respite - and that’s how Active Respite was created.

Active Respite aims to support children in need financially, and practically. We don’t want to just fund a club for children to access, we want to make sure that children are part of a safe and enjoyable environment too. We support children from all different backgrounds, with lots of different needs. As long as there is an identified need by an external professional (i.e. support worker, social worker, teacher, SENCO), then we have support to give!
