Aim Higher and Hull Parent Carer Forum are joining together to launch a new group for dads and male carers of children and young people with SEND.
We are kicking things off with go-karting. There will be no sitting around a table and no pressure to talk about SEND, just an opportunity to have fun and meet people who understand.
Highly Subsidised Tickets!
Thanks to generous funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, HPCF has been able to significantly subsidise the cost of these tickets. You get the full track experience for just £10 (normally £31.50)

This is an open session, so you may be racing alongside other adult groups, giving you the chance to compare lap times with the competition!
