Half Term Fun for Disabled Children
at Hackney Family Backup Party
  • During half term - 17th February - Hackney Family Backup hosted our annual Party with over 100 people attending the event.

  • The children enjoyed a fun filled day of music, circus skills, face painting, arts and crafts and soft play from Albion Kids Show. With plenty of staff including skilled playworkers on hand to entertain the children, parents and carers were given the opportunity to relax. Some parents made the most of much needed relaxation sessions and delicious hot and cold food was enjoyed by all.

  • HFBU strive to offer the best possible services for disabled children and families and took this opportunity to consult with the parents and children to find out about their views, experiences and preferences of play and social opportunities.

  • Parents informed us how they really appreciate that, no matter how challenging their behaviour, the child (ren) are always welcome at our events and children make friends easier at these events than in most other settings. Parents themselves form friendships and build their own support networks at our events.
