IMPS Holiday Clubs

Our holiday clubs are inclusive, and you don't need any previous musical experience to take part.

Sessions are suitable for children and young people with learning disabilities age 8+. If you fall outside of this age bracket but would still like to come, please contact us for a chat.

Please note that we do not provide 1 to 1 support; if you need this, please bring your own support or contact us to discuss.

Cost: Sessions are £12 but we never want money to be a barrier to taking part.  We have sibling discounts and fully subsidised places available - please get in touch if these apply.

Location: All IMPS holiday clubs will be located at Accessible Arts & Media, Clifton Explore, Rawcliffe Drive, York YO30 6NS.

Facilities: The building is accessible, with a Changing Places toilet. Easy to reach by bus.& Free parking on-site, including 4 disabled parking bays. If the car park is full, there is plenty of on-street parking.

iMUSE is our 1 to 1 interactive multisensory and relaxation session; young people can have a 20 minute session alongside the main holiday club activity. Let us know if you’d like a session with Hannah.

SEND CENTRAL Summer of Fun

York SEND Youth Forum Summer of Fun activities are aimed for young people over 6 years although everyone is welcome to attend.

For young people who are under the age of 14, or those who may need additional support during the sessions, we ask that a parent or a named carer remains present. They will continue to be responsible for the young person, while also having the opportunity to take part in the Parent Carer Forum’s ‘catch up and cuppa’.

Sessions will run every Wednesday over the school summer holidays in July, August and September.

Location: SEND CENTRAL, Children’s Centre on the site of Clifton Green Primary School, York YO30 6JA

Moving, Grooving Pictures

With Emily, Karen from Mesh Dance and Jodie, we’ll be inspired by the bold shapes of Picasso and the energetic, colourful artwork of Nnena Kalu.

We’ll combine music and movement to create our own art work. There’s no right or wrong way to join in. Just bring your energy, ideas, and a sense of adventure! The canvas room will be open for you to chill out in, to create your own gentle art through our sensory props.
