Play and Learning Support is a charity based in North Lanarkshire and currently has 97 member families. PALS provides assistance to a range of families with children, aged 0-18 years, who have Additional Support Needs. PALS+ supports young people aged 17-21 years.
PALS runs activity sessions each week. These sessions include Taekwondo, Stay & Play, Bookbug with Makaton, Thrive Tribe (10-18 years), Swim & Play, Dance and Soft Play. We also continue to run activities and events during school holidays and some weekends. These include canal trips, trampoline parks, sensory rooms, soft play, farm parks, paddleboarding, tubing, gaming events and seasonal parties.
We operate a number of weekly activities and offer interested new members the opportunity to try one of our weekly activities free of charge for the first session before you decide to join.
Parent/carers must remain with the child/children at all activities.
For the families that attend PALS we provide an environment where the children can relax and be themselves.
PALS+ promotes the same values and aims for all the young people involved to have fun, learn, socialise and be their true selves. Click the PALS+ option above for more information.
