Hello and welcome back to the Diaries of a SEND Parent. I’m your host Alexandra and I just want to say a big thank you for Joining me. Whether this is your first time listening l or you’ve been with me from the start I’m so grateful that you’re here.

Now today’s episode- Episode 13 is a little different from the usual. Whilst I often talk with guests about the early years, the diagnosis journey, school battles and navigating the world of SEND, today we are shifting the focus forward.

What happens after school ends? What’s out there for our young people as they grow into adulthood?

I’m so excited and truly honoured to be joined today by the lovely Mr Andrew Denny, the director and founder of The Wash Club, The independence project and The independence club. Through these incredible initiatives Andrew is creating real, empowering opportunities for young adults with special educational needs and disabilities. He is helping them

Build confidence, gain independence and live more meaningful lives.

This episode shines a huge light on the Adult SEND community and the incredible work that Andrew and his team are doing to make sure nobody gets left behind.
