POINT and our partners are proud to offer activities and social opportunities for children and young people with SEND in Oldham to learn, grow, and connect.

We believe every young person should be able to be themselves, feel a sense of belonging, and have the support to explore their passions, build friendships, and reach their full potential.

We’re excited to continue this work and to keep making a positive difference for the children, young people, and families we support in Oldham.

Thank you for letting us share in your children’s journey, for your continued support, and for being part of our community. We’re so grateful to all the families who make our work so rewarding!

🌟 Supporting Oldham families 🌟

Oldham Council is proud to announce a two-year extension of our contract with POINT, a charity supporting families of children with additional needs.

The renewed contract will run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, with funding of £200,000 per year.

The extension will see POINT continue its delivery of Short Breaks Play and Leisure (SBPL) services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and their families.

“By extending our contract with POINT, we’re ensuring that this much-valued service can continue supporting local children, young people, and their families to thrive.” — Cllr Mohon Ali, Cabinet Member for Education and Skills.

Their programme of activities help young people build independence, develop confidence, and enjoy meaningful experiences with peers — while families benefit from essential respite.
