Space for Yew was founded in 2024 to support neurodivergent adults, children, and families. Our mission is simple: to prevent isolation and enhance wellbeing.
We provide a range of inclusive services from our premises in Egerton Park, Bexhill. We are part of the ESCC SEND Short Breaks Local Offer.
Weekly Family Stay, Play & Learn sessions These child led sessions include sensory play, arts & crafts, games, and informal learning. Activities are tailored each week to meet the diverse needs of families attending.
Space to Create - Art workshops for children and young people
Nature Connections – Outdoor sessions for children and their parents/carers, with a deep focus on wellbeing and the restorative power of nature.
Space to Connect – A programme of creative, supportive meet-ups for parents/carers who are neurodivergent or raising neurodivergent children.
Space for Yew in the Community – wellbeing social sessions such as seasonal wreath making as well as supported trips to community venues and events such as the pantomime or local farms. These experiences help people feel comfortable, connected, and part of their wider community while reducing isolation.
Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) club
We support children facing barriers to education – including those on part-time timetables, awaiting school placements, home educated, or struggling within school.
Our staff team brings both lived and professional experience of neurodivergence including Autism, PDA, and ADHD.
We have developed a new Hub in Egerton Park which provides a welcoming, shared space for organisations and professionals supporting the neurodivergent community. The Hub features a large enclosed outdoor area with both a nature-based provision and a sports space alongside flexible indoor rooms equipped with sensory resources. These spaces have been designed to host a wide range of groups, activities, and events, offering families a supportive environment to connect and thrive.
