What

Community Focus is a Barnet based arts centre for people of all ages with autism, special educational needs, and mental health challenges, focusing on creative and culturally enriching activities. As a Short Breaks provider we work with young people with mild to moderate learning disabilities aged 10-18 during the school holidays. We offer a staff to young people ratio of 1:3, sensory materials and specially planned workshops, and an aim on enriching, educating, and empowering our young people.

We're looking ahead to October Half Term and excited to announce our Short Breaks projects. This half term we're looking at games, from video games to board games, designing, creating, and most importantly, playing them! We have 3 days of activities planned, each day costing £55 from your Short Breaks budget or alternative funding;
