Children’s Outreach

Cosgrove Care provides specialised services for children aged 5 to 18, ensuring they receive the care and support needed to grow, learn, and thrive.

Our services include:

• One-to-one support at Cosgrove Care or within the home or school environment.
• Weekend Warriors activity club.
• Fun group school holiday activities.
• Short term focussed support for carers and families experiencing difficulties.

We work closely with families and professionals to create personalised support plans tailored to each child’s unique needs and goals. Our support offers stimulating, safe, and fun environments that foster growth in social, emotional, and physical development.

Often young people transition into our adult services between the ages of 16 and 24.  We work closely with families and carers, the young person and professionals to make sure this is done at a pace that suits the person and the support planning process for this key stage is collaborative and person centred. Familiar staff can support the transition process to allow relationships to build between new staff and the supported person. Where the supported person is to move on to a new provider we are more than happy to support that transition and provide a positive ending for the young person.

If you’d like to find out more about how we can provide support please get in touch.

Meet Callum

Callum is 10 years old and accesses Outreach Support from Cosgrove as and when his family require it. Callum attends our playschemes during the holiday periods and has also recently attended one of our short breaks to the Calvert Trust.

Callum is such a joy to have around, constantly full of energy and mischief and keeps all of our child services staff on our toes!

The funding Cosgrove receives can make such a difference to families. With funding we can be creative in the ways in which we provide care and ensure that services are much more financially accessible for those who only receive small budgets.

Knowing the difference we can make to a family makes everything we do so worthwhile.

Callum’s mum Denise said:

I want to say a big thank you for the trips Callum has gone on with the Playscheme and also his amazing trip to the Calvert Trust, he’s a very lucky wee boy.I appreciate the huge effort involved in organising these trips but have to say it’s brilliant, not only for Callum but also for me as a parent as I know Callum has a ball
