Who we are:
Who we are:
Fun Friends groups are based in Sidcup, Wilmington, Dartford and Swanley. We give children and young adults with additional needs a place where they can relax, feel understood and enjoy time with others. Our groups focus on friendship, confidence and simple moments of joy in a safe, supportive setting led by people who care. While the young people take part in activities and build real connections, parents and carers get a little breathing space of their own. Whether your child is in mainstream school, special education or home educated, they’ll be welcomed as they are. We are part of Kent County Council SEND directory and Bexley Local Offer.

“Fun Friends has been brilliant for my nephew. He settled in quickly and talks about the staff and activities with real excitement. It’s the first club where he feels understood and relaxed. Knowing he’s happy and safe gives our family a bit of breathing space. It’s become a highlight of his week.”

“I like Fun Friends because I feel welcome and not judged. I’ve made friends who understand me and I enjoy the games, cooking and days out. The staff are kind and help me try new things. I feel more confident now and look forward to going every week.”
