A summary
Amazing Futures Holiday Scheme offers a range of exciting and enriching activities at Portslade Village Centre. There are 14 spaces available each day. Two spaces are for young people requiring 1:1 support and 12 spaces are for young people with 1:4 support. For Easter 2025 we are offering the following dates, all 10 am - 4 pm, at Portslade Village Centre. Wednesday 9th April Thursday 10th April Friday 11th April The price for one 6-hour day is £30, which has been set by Brighton & Hove City Council. You can choose to pay by Direct Payment or self-fund. We expect to be oversubscribed, especially for 1:1 places, but want to ensure that we can reach as many young people as possible. We have also set a booking limit of 2 sessions per individual out of 3 sessions on offer. If demand is high for all sessions, we may need to restrict this further and decline one of your selected dates. The activities programme is designed by young people and the staff team to excite, inspire and gently challenge participants to have fun, enjoy new experiences, make friends and socialise. Activities include sports and dance, arts and crafts and music, all supporting young people's health and wellbeing, and their personal and social development as they transition into adulthood. The provision builds young people's resilience and confidence, developing their life skills to learn, work, enjoy and achieve, and supporting young people to have their voices heard in, and influence decisions that affect them at Amaze and in the community. Sessions will be delivered by the talented Amaze team and our activity partners. Young people can access indoor, outdoor, sensory and quiet spaces. The rough structure of each holiday scheme session will be: 10-10.15am: Arrival 10.30-11am: Group check-in and group game 11-12.30 pm: Activity 1 (usually with an external provider like Parable Dance, Capoeira etc) 12.30 - 1.15 pm: Personal care and lunch. Snacks will be provided and young people will need to bring a packed lunch with them 1.15 - 2.15 pm : Activity 2 (usually arts and crafts/board games or similar) 2 .15 - 3.15 pm: Activity 3 (usually arts and crafts or similar) 3.15 - 3.45 pm: group game, check in and goodbye 4 pm: home time Our team of youth workers on site will be trained to work with a variety of needs. We will be in contact with parent carers before the start of the scheme to ensure we fully understand a young person's needs and that staff are trained on any specific medication or support.

Further information
Amazing Futures Holiday Scheme is for young people with SEND aged 14-25 in Brighton and Hove, with 6-hour sessions of supported fun on 3 days of the Easter holidays , Wednesday 9th April - Friday 12th April. The scheme offers 14 places per session: 12 young people in groups of 1:4 staffing, and 2 young people with 1:1 support. Places in the Amaze scheme will be allocated according to a range of factors, our aim being to achieve a balanced and workable group of young people in each daily session. To try to ensure fair access, each young person will be able to book one session in the three days of scheme running at Easter. If we have enough spaces available, we will offer you a second day. You can request up to 2 dates and we will then confirm if we can offer both. How to make a booking The bookings window will be open from 10am Monday 10th March until 5pm Monday 17th March. After that, we will review all bookings received and consider the allocation of places possible within the scheme's capacity. We will seek to confirm bookings with families for the Easter dates by end of day Friday 17th March. We will contact families directly to discuss a booking/gain further information on a young person’s needs if necessary. Where all 1:1 places have all been filled, but where 1:1 level support is needed for a young person to be able to attend the scheme, we will welcome and support young people attending with a PA / carer if this is an option for them. Ticket types: 1:1 self funded: for a young person who needs 1:1 support from Amaze staff, and you will pay the £30 fee. 1:1 Direct Payment: for a young person who needs 1:1 support from Amaze staff, and you will pay by Direct Payment 1:1 own PA self funded : for a young person who will need 1:1 support and come with their own PA . You will pay £30 fee and then pay your PA separately 1:1 own PA Direct Payment: for a young person who will need 1:1 support and come with their own PA. You will pay by Direct Payment, and a separate fee for your PA. 1:4 Direct Payment/self funded: for a young person who requires 1:4 support ratio, within a group. There is a £30 contribution towards the costs of running the 6 hour session. This is payable online at the point in time at which a reservation is made, although payment won’t actually be taken until a place is confirmed. So you will only pay for bookings that become confirmed places. This price has been set by Brighton & Hove City Council. If you wish to book a place and pay the £30 contribution by Direct Payments, please select the ticket option ‘Pay by Direct Payments’. We can then send an invoice as and when your booking is confirmed which can be settled by Direct Payments. Where paying £30 is a barrier for a young person to attend the scheme, we also ask that you contact us directly to let us know and we will look into alternative options. Once a session booking has been confirmed, it is non -refundable, due to the holiday scheme taking place so soon in April. If you do not get a place this time, we will add you to our waiting list in case of cancellations and contact you if a place becomes available.

Cancellation Policy
Once places have been confirmed, because of the late launch of the scheme/proximity to April dates, they are non-refundable on this occasion (apart from in exceptional circumstances).

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
