The SHIFT group was started in 2009 by parents of children with special needs in the Abingdon area.

We are an informal group of parents & carers of children with special needs. We meet in the North Abingdon Children’s Centre on the Dunmore Primary School site.

We know that coming along to a support group may be the last thing on your mind but we are group of parents facing similar issues. We get together fortnightly in term time to chat about the joys & difficulties of parenting a child with special needs. Some weeks we have visits from professionals & organisations who pop in for an informal chat to give more information about their services.

There is always coffee, chat & cake and a friendly welcome. We do not run a creche but preschool age children are welcome and there are plenty of toys!

Please check our main page for details of the next meeting.
