I am organising (with a group of other parents) a Christmas Fare for children in Greenwich with disabilities and SEN. The reason the group have decided to organise a Christmas spectacular for their kids is that they have found that accessing christmas things is a total nightmare. Going to see Santa is just not that easy! So we're going to put on a fare that is just for them. A bouncy castle where just one child can bounce at a time. A santa story session where you don't have to wait and you get your present even if you don't want to talk to Santa.Reindeer! We're looking for good ideas, contacts - help! Carrie thought you might all have some ideas for me and I would really appreciate any help you can give :)
Has anyone done one of these before? Any top tips? We're in touch with the usual sources (toy library, LA etc) but we want this to be rather lovely so we need extra ideas. Please!

Hi

Signandsay that sounds brilliant! can't say Greenwich is all tha close to Richmond if I'm super honest but if you were up for a day out I think the kids would love a signed story. haven't seen the snow globe thingy but am going to find out who runs the Hyde park xmas thing and see if we can track it down - thanks anonandlikeit.

Glad you like the idea SparkleRainbow! I couldn't believe that no-one did it but guess I should know better!

Hi

the timed slot thing is a really good idea....lots of the parents have raised the 'waiting in line' issue!

We're hoping to include a bit of magic roundthebend4 ... infact we've found a magician who does lots of sensory tricks which we're hoping will go down well.

The date is the 4th Dec (we hope - confirmed venue booking permitting). My email is [email protected]

I will be posting more details as we get them confirmed so please keep watching!

We have got a venue booked and feel as though we're finally making headway. December 4th 1pm- 4pm at Charlton Football Club. They have been really helpful so all we need now are Santa's, Elves, craft stalls, sensory play equipment etc etc etc!
