We offer a range of service to children with disabilities or disadvantage, including:
ELHAP runs holiday playschemes and term time Saturday Clubs throughout the year for disabled and disadvantaged children aged between 6 and 18 years, from across East London and Essex areas.We run Saturday Clubs every fortnight throughout term time and run holiday playschemes in every school holiday. All our playschemes provide much needed adventure play opportunities. ELHAP believes every child needs to have fun, to make mess, to have time and space to be themselves.
Siblings of disabled children can attend holiday playschemes and Saturday Clubs throughout the year at no cost. ELHAP currently charitably funds this project because we are committed to supporting the whole family - too often siblings are overlooked by providers. We have been supporting siblings now for over 15 years.Siblings can attend if they meet the following criteria:
Children with disabilities can attend ELHAP through our 'Stay and Play' scheme. This enable a child to book into ELHAP with their parent. This scheme costs £5 for morning or afternoon sessions or £10 for a whole day and families can attend Stay and Play specific holiday playschemes days and Saturday Clubs (from April 2023 we will be running specific Stay and Play days through the year). Parents are required to stay with their children and supervise them at all times. Please note that we do not allow carers to attend with children.

ELHAP Bridge can offer short term placements to “bridge the gap” for some of the children and young people left without school, college or day service provision. It may be particularly suitable for children & young people who are not in education or training, whose school place may be at risk. For more information, please click here.
