Get Involved

Our service seeks to provide an exciting opportunity to young people who won’t be challenged enough by traditional day care and aren’t quite ready to jump into the world of employment.

Leaving school can be an anxious time for the whole family. Send House wants to build the excitement in leaving school, creating that feeling of ‘better days ahead’ by providing an innovative participant focused programme.

Send House doesn’t want to be ‘the only option’ but ‘the best option’ for participants.

How do you access Send House?

Send House receives referrals from schools, parents, the Education Authority Transition Officers, the Department of Economy Careers Service, and local Health Trusts.
Zak and Jonny from Send House will get in touch and have an initial information meeting with families. They can also attend a young adults School Annual Review Meeting at both 18 years old and their final Annual Review at 19 years old.
At 18 years old the parents of a potential participant will visit Send House for coffee and a tour to show off all we can offer. The participant can then attend several taster days for assessment of suitability to the service.
The young person’s social worker can make an application to Send House and the Adult Day Care Panel for placement funding. All participants require a Social Worker in order to access the service.
Following a successful application and funding approval, participants will receive their welcome pack in August and begin their next big step in September.
