This Christmas, we're asking our Halifax community to help us keep family support free.

Noa's Place is a charity in Halifax for neurodivergent and disabled families. I started it in 2025. Support here is for the whole family, not just the child.

What happens now

Our regular free SEND sensory sessions run on the first four Fridays of the month, from 10:30am to 12pm, with holiday exceptions. They're for children aged 0 to 11 with additional needs. They take place at Halifax Elim Church, Hall St, Halifax HX1 5AY. You don't need a diagnosis or a referral.

Alongside each session, we run a free drop-in for parents, carers and grandparents. No ticket needed. It's a place to sit down and talk with people who understand.

We aim to offer extra free sensory sessions in the school holidays. And on our website there are interactive tools for children, teens, adults, and parents and carers, so support carries on between sessions.

Why "for the whole family"

Our support is for children and the parents, carers and grandparents alongside them. That's why the drop-in runs alongside the children's sessions. Children get time in a sensory space. The adults with them get time too.

How you can help this Christmas

Our sessions and drop-in are free for families, and we want to keep them that way. Your donation supports that work.

If you can, please donate to Noa's Place this Christmas. Whatever you give helps us keep supporting families.
