To widen short breaks, Southend-on-Sea City Council has made funding available to increase the targeted offer. This is availiable in 2 ways:
- organisations/groups can apply for a Main Access Grant (up to the value of £10,000) to provide a short breaks programme of activities for a wider group of disabled children and young people.
- individual families can apply for a Community Access Grant (up to the value of £500) to support their disabled child to access to a short break.
