The Mcr Social programme is a great way for some of the disabled and neurodivergent young people we support to experience new fun things with their friends.
Some of the young people who came along to the sessions said:
“I find the sessions very inclusive; it makes me feel very safe.”
“The sessions have been brilliant, the gaming centre, the BMX track and the Zip World session, it is very good!”
Over the summer GMYN had 30 different young people take part in an amazing 17 Mcr Social sessions.
