February Half Term disability sessions across Caerphilly

A range of disability leisure and play sessions will be available across Caerphilly during the February Half Term, offering accessible opportunities for children and young people to be active, play and socialise in safe, supportive environments.

The programme brings together dedicated Leisure Lifestyle pool sessions and inclusive Caerphilly Play sessions, delivered by trained staff and playworkers create calm, welcoming and inclusive spaces for families.

Neurodivergent swimming sessions are delivered as quieter swims, with reduced noise and no additional pool features in use to help create a calmer environment.

Caerphilly Play disability sessions are inclusive, supportive play sessions led by playworkers and designed around the needs of each child. Parents or guardians must stay for the duration of these sessions. Disability Play sessions must be booked in advance via the Leisure Lifestyle app.

Additional disability swimming sessions are supported at some leisure centres through external providers. These sessions are delivered independently and may vary in format and level of support. Families are encouraged to contact providers directly for further information.

Chris Morgan, Cabinet Member for Leisure, said: “It’s important that our leisure and play services are welcoming and accessible to everyone.

“These disability sessions help create supportive environments where children and young people feel comfortable taking part in activities that work for them, while giving families confidence that they are being supported.” Providing inclusive disability sessions supports the council’s Sport and Active Recreation Strategy, which focuses on reducing barriers to participation and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy sport, physical activity and play.
