In Gateshead and across the North East there are a range of play and leisure activities you can take part in. The SEND activities directory has been developed to provide free and impartial information to families about activities suitable for those with SEND within the local and surrounding area and offered online:

To help make days out more financially accessible for families of children with additional needs, you can apply for a Max Card. Max Cards give children with additional needs free and discounted entry to hundreds of local, regional and national attractions. To apply for or renew a Max Card, visit their website mymaxcard.co.uk
