What we do

Thrive Cardiff is a support group for families that include a child/young adult with a disability. The group is organised and managed by volunteers. The families include children with a range of disabilities, including Autism, ADHD and Down Syndrome etc. It offers parents/carers the opportunity to meet on a social basis, with other families who understand the challenges of having a child with additional needs.
We provide activities and events during school holiday time for our member families. Our activities are for parents and children and young adults. We also hold a soft play session for our families at Antz Inya Pants, Newport Road, Cardiff every Friday at 6pm. Non members can attend for 3 sessions before having to become a member.

Who do we support

Children and young people with disabilities, as well as siblings who are very important part of the group and their parents / carers.

Is there a charge to use this service?

Depends - We charge a membership fee of £20 a year. Non members are welcome to attend our Friday exclusive soft play session at Antz in Ya Pants, Cardiff for a few sessions without being a member. there is a small charge to attend the session. The activities that we arrange may have a charge but are always subsidised.

Can anyone use this service?

Children and young people with disabilities, as well as siblings who are very important part of the group and their parents / carers.
