Proposed Changes to the Short Break Grant and SNIPS Clubs

Sheffield City Council has made alterations to their Short Breaks for Children with Disabilities scheme and their Special Needs Inclusion Playcare Services (SNIPS).

Following consultations there will be additional eligibility criteria to qualify for a short break and SNIPS will see the introduction of a parent/carer contribution and an income based assessment for some users.

The Short Breaks Grant application process for 2018-19 will open in October, and information about how to apply will shortly be available on Sheffield City council’s website.

Changes to SNIPs will not be implemented immediately but will be brought in in 2019 when the new contracts with clubs start. If you use SNIPS services you will be contacted with further details nearer the time.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
