Our Creative Holiday Workshops offer fun, creative and inclusive experiences for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) during the school holidays. Each session is designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, encourage friendships and provide enjoyable activities in a safe, supportive and accessible environment.
Cathartic Arts CIC is proud to be a registered provider on the Hertfordshire Local Offer, meaning eligible families can use their SBLO (Short Break Local Offer) hours to access our holiday workshops. Many children and young people with SEND may be eligible for SBLO support, even if they do not have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
You'll find our upcoming workshop dates below. Before requesting workshop dates, we ask all families to complete our Child Referral Form, which can be found on our website. This helps us ensure we are able to meet the individual needs of every child and young person attending. Once we have reviewed the referral, we'll be in touch to confirm whether we can offer a place and invite you to request your preferred workshop dates.
If you have any questions or would like further information, we'd love to hear from you. Please contact us at sblo@catharticcic.com.
Please note: The workshop dates below are published for information only. Before workshop dates can be requested, a completed Child Referral Form must be submitted and reviewed to ensure we are able to meet your child or young person's individual needs.
