POINT Activities

08/04/2026

March has been full of discovery, creativity, and plenty of fun! 🌟

In our STEM Club, the children have been busy exploring science through hands-on experiments — including testing the viscosity of different liquids and creating their very own marble rollercoaster courses! It’s been fantastic to see their curiosity, problem-solving, and teamwork in action. 🧪🎢

Over in SEND Club, we’ve welcomed the new season with beautiful spring-inspired crafts, making blooming flowers and colourful creations to celebrate the brighter days ahead. 🌸🌼

Our Multi Sport sessions have kept everyone active and engaged, with inclusive activities designed to build confidence, develop skills, and ensure every child can take part and enjoy moving their bodies. 🏃‍♂️⚽

As always, it’s been wonderful to see so many families join us throughout the month — thank you for being part of it! 💜

If you would like to book, please get in touch with us on 0161 503 1543 or activities@point-send.co.uk.

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.
