About us
SEND the Right Message Charity aims to support neurodivergent and disabled children, young people, adults, and their parents or carers in Essex and Southend.
We provide support services, assistance, information, activities and training programmes. As an organisation, we also help alleviate financial hardship, create opportunities for respite breaks, promote social inclusion, and raise awareness and acceptance. The charity is committed to developing and promoting innovative and early interventions for the health and well-being of beneficiaries.
Our vision is for parent carers, children, and young people with specific educational needs and disabilities to fulfil their potential by enabling families to live happier, healthier, longer lives and empowering families to help and support each other. SEND the Right Message’s mission is to improve the quality of life for families in Southend and Essex where a child has been identified or is suspected of having specific educational needs and/or disabilities through inclusive and supportive activities.
How we help?
At STRM, we believe in empowering your child, young person, and family to achieve their full potential by providing the necessary support for a great start.
- Pre-Diagnosis and Post-Diagnosis Support plus what to do ‘while you are waiting’.
- Information and support about money and benefits.
- Activities that can help you and your child in day-to-day life (for example, improving social and leisure activities or supporting learning at school).
- By connecting with our support groups and resources, you can join a community of parent carers and broaden your knowledge of disabilities and neurodivergence.
- Lastly, we want to help parent carers, children, and young people look ahead and prepare for the future.
