Many children also enjoy time away from their parents making friends and creating new experiences. Disabled children and young people are no different but they can often find it difficult to make friends and rarely get invited out without their parents. This is where Bolton Shared Care can help as the team recruits enthusiastic, caring people who enjoy children’s company and who can make a regular commitment to spending time with a child who has a physical or learning disability. These people can also support children in foster care and their carers after school, at weekends and during the school holidays.
