Twinkle House was set up with a purpose to fill an unmet need in services for Disabled children. Families reported their need for a local, easily accessible service that could tailor support to their child's individual and varied needs. As a result of this,Twinkle House provides its 1:1 support in a sensory environments that are engaging and adaptable. Providing practical strategies to help improve life skills and emotional resilience. Our Wellness and sensory centre now caters for all ages:)
Why the community needs usTwinkle House provides a welcoming place where children or adults can benefit from a range of support services and facilities to improve wellness. Our free children's support services are a lifeline to many families struggling with their child/young person's difficulties.
