Short Break Services

Living Waters provides high-quality short break support designed for children and young people with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and complex needs.

Our short break service gives families time to rest, recharge, and focus on everyday life while their child receives safe, therapeutic, and compassionate care from an experienced team

Support can be arranged for a few hours, an afternoon, or a full day.

Every session is carefully shaped around the child’s individual needs, interests, routines, and well-being so they feel secure, understood, and able to enjoy their time with us.
