Community Connections – Rex and Rosie’s story

Brother and sister Rex and Rosie (11 and 13 years old) both have SEN. Rex (11) has no friendship groups and struggles in social situations. He was referred to Community Connections for support.

Our Community Connections team worked with Rex and Rosie to find activities that matched their interests and abilities. We helped them access local youth groups, arranged funding for activities where needed, and supported the parents through the process.

Both children have grown in confidence, formed new friendships, and now attend activities regularly. Their parents report a noticeable improvement in mood and behaviour at home.
