SEND the Right Message

SEND the Right Message, based in Southend-on-Sea, provides specialist online and in-person support for families who have a child or young person that has a special educational need or disability.

Born out of the shared experience of the local community, Trustees, and volunteers, SEND the Right Message are easily accessible through their Online Parent Forum, SEND Support Coffee mornings, Community Disability Benefit Service, Grant Support Packages, Events, Webinars, and resource pages, along with a Bouldering Club initiative.

We have awarded them a grant to support their operational costs, as well as the hosting of a webinar for ‘Neurodivergent Distressed Behaviours’. This funding has allowed them to provide emotional support and training to families, and reduce the inequalities faced by people with disabilities, and their carers.
