We asked our SEND parents and families how they felt before coming to PAL. This comment was one of the most telling and insightful, and made us realise that there are so many SEND parents in our community who feel this exact same way, lost and angry at the system. Then they find PAL Community CIC, and things change. At PAL, we aim to transform the lives of SEND parents and their families through education, knowledge and empowerment.

If you are feeling lost and angry, come along to our next group meeting on Wednesday 2nd September at The Gerard Arms pub (function room), Dentons Green Lane, St.Helens from 6.30 p.m onwards. You will receive a warm and friendly welcome and find that you are amongst friends that you didn't realise you had yet.

If you would like some more information or would like to chat before coming along to the meeting, DM, call/text Jane - 07456165589 or Nic - 07305591299 or email [email protected]

Life before attending our PAL parent support group was different for many of our SEND parents, and they have given us some feedback about how their lives have been changed positively by attending our group.

If you are thinking about or have thought about attending our group, then please come along and join our wonderful community of SEND parents. This group exists so that SEND parents can support other SEND parents and share nuggets of information and advice that can literally transform lives. We offer practical and sound advice and support, and our vision is to empower parents and educate about the SEND system.

This week, we asked our SEND parents what life was like before they attended the PAL SEND parent support group, and we will be sharing some of the many responses. This one really struck a chord with us - that so many of you may be nervous or anxious about that first meeting that you come along to. Please don't be. If you would like one of us to meet you outside before the meeting so that you don't have to walk in alone, or if you would like to speak to us first, then contact us by DM, call/text Jane - 07456165589 or Nic - 07305591299 or email [email protected]

If you would like to be part of a community that can help you to navigate the SEND system and that exists to reduce social isolation and exclusion for SEND children, young people and their families, then come along to the next meeting.

From all the feedback we received in relation to what a safe sensory room and cinema space would mean to our SEND families, this comment really touched our hearts. SEND parents and families are socially isolated and often excluded from the community, and they often feel they have nowhere to belong and no space where they can fully relax and know they are understood and accepted and that their children and young people are safe.

This is the reason that PAL Community CIC exists and why we are working so hard to create a local sensory room and cinema space for SEND children, young people and their families. We want to offer them a space to belong, where they can relax and feel comfortable and share experiences with one another.

If you can help us in any way to make this dream a reality, please contact us by DM, call/text Jane - 07456165589 or Nic - 07305591299 or email [email protected]

Our SEND parents know what they want and what they need, and we are working alongside them to make sure the dream of a local, safe and bespoke sensory room and cinema space comes true. They require a space where they and their children and young people are accepted and understood. We are working to provide just this.

You can help by joining us at our next fundraising event at The Woodlands Pub, Woodlands Rd, St.Helens on September 19th from 2.00p.m onwards, by making a donation or by spreading awareness of the work we are doing. Any help would be much appreciated.

More parent feedback is adding to the weight for our vision of a local, safe and bespoke sensory room and cinema space within St. Helens. This space will give SEND families a place to belong and will inevitably reduce social isolation and exclusion. It is essential that we make this happen, and we at PAL Community CIC are committed to the cause.

If you would like to help by donating or by spreading awareness, or attending one of our fundraisers, then DM, call/text Jane - 07456165589 or Nic - 07305591299 or email [email protected]

We asked for honest feedback about what having a local, safe and bespoke sensory room and cinema space would mean for our SEND children, young people and their families, and this is one of the responses we got.

Having a safe sensory room and cinema space will transform the lives of SEND families within the St. Helens community and surrounding areas. If you can help us to make this vision a reality, then please contact us by DM, call/text Jane - 07456165589 or Nic - 07305591299 or email [email protected]

Any help you can give is always greatly appreciated.

At PAL Community CIC, we asked our SEND parents the question;

"What would a local, safe and bespoke sensory room mean to you and your family?"

This was just one of the responses. This is the reason why we continue to work hard to raise funds to make the dream of opening a local, safe and bespoke sensory room and cinema space in St. Helens a reality. We have secured a building, and it won't be long until we sign the lease. This space will mean so much to the SEND children, young people and their families within St. Helens and surrounding areas. If you can do anything to help, from sharing our posts or making a donation or attending one of our fundraisers, then DM, call/text Jane - 07456165589 or Nic - 07305591299 or email [email protected]

Help make the dream a reality for so many families.

23/08/2026

At PAL Community CIC, we asked our SEND parents for feedback about what having a local, safe and bespoke sensory room and cinema space would mean to them, and we are sharing some of the comments we received as testimony to why we are busy raising funds to make the dream of a sensory room and cinema space in the heart of St.Helens a reality.

If you can come along to our fundraiser on Sept 19 from 2.00 p.m onwards at The Woodlands Pub, Woodlands Rd, St. Helens, then know that you are helping to support this vision and helping to transform the lives of SEND children, young people and their families. The sensory space will also be a hub where a key professional will be on-site to answer your questions and to offer advice and support. Please help to support us in any way you can. Share our posts and talk to your friends, colleagues and anyone you know to help share and spread awareness of this worthy cause.
