Extratime is an award-winning, parent-led charity providing fun, inclusive and affordable out of school activities for children and young people with and without disabilities and additional needs in Brighton and Hove and West Sussex.
PFBA was founded in 2008 when a group of parent carers came together to provide a forum for 9 new special schools in Bradford. With help from Barnardo's and the National Parent Forum we grew and become a registered charity in 2010. Our focus is always drawn from what parent/carers want to know more about or what they are concerned with. Our aim is to try and be a voice for families of children and young people with disabilities and/or additional needs. At present there are over 9000 families with a child/young person with SEN or disabilities in Bradford and this continues to grow. Our membership has quadrupled, mainly through our outreach work but we need your help to reach even more families who need support.
