Good Friday Community Meal Open to Everyone

This Good Friday, I would like to offer 30 free takeaway meals to anyone who may need one.

This is not just for SEND families or those who attend the hub – this is for anyone who may be struggling, going without, or simply needs a little support right now.

This is my way of saying thank you to people for just being who they are and for everything they may be going through. Life can be difficult, and if I can make even a small difference by filling 30 hungry bellies, then that means everything to me.

I feel incredibly grateful for what I have, and I want to share that with others. I’m not looking for thanks or recognition – just the opportunity to support people, no matter their circumstances.

Important information:

30 meals available (one per person)
Takeaway meals
Collection between 12pm and 2pm on Good Friday
Meals will be prepared by Fishermans Catch (who are kindly cooking the meals for us)

Tickets must be collected in advance from:
Include ‘In’ Autism SEND Hub
Unit 3, Woodval House
1–3 Woodvale Terrace
SR4 6TA

Tickets available from Tuesday, 31st March

To ensure fairness:

Names will be taken when tickets are issued
If collecting for a family, we will need all names to prevent overallocating
This helps us make sure everyone gets a fair chance

Please note:
This is fully funded by Include ‘In’ Autism and is not part of any local authority or external funding

I kindly ask that only those who genuinely need this support come forward – many people may be going without, and I want to reach those who need it most.

Sending love and blessings to you all 💛 god bless

We are doing a raffle for Easter. The numbers are £3 each and will be drawn on Good Friday.

The money will be going to the SEND hub to fund our coffee mornings and activities for the people who access the hub. Numbers will be drawn twice as we have 2 lots of Easter eggs.

Please note it does not include the basket. This is for decoration purposes only.

Thank you for your support 🙏

Children shouldn’t have to break before they’re believed.

Every day, families are fighting for support instead of receiving it.

Parents are exhausted ,not because they don’t care,
but because they care too much.

They are navigating:
❗️Endless paperwork
❗️Assessments
❗️Appeals
❗️Waiting… and waiting… and waiting

All while being told to “trust the system.”

But what happens when the system doesn’t listen?

What happens when a child has to reach crisis point before anyone takes notice?

This is the reality behind every EHCP battle.
This is what families are living every single day.

At Include ‘In’ Autism we see it.
We hear it, and we will keep speaking up.

Because support shouldn’t come after breakdown.
It should come before.

❗️Change of date ❗️

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have had to change the date of our first coffee morning. Please note the new date is;

Tuesday 31st March 2026 - 10am-12 noon.

We do apologise for this but this is out of our control. We can’t wait see you all.

Marie 💛
