The yPod service is a joint initiative between Aiming High and the Early Year's Development and Childcare Partnership. Southampton Mencap manages the service, with the key objective of providing relevant support so that the children with disabilites or additional needs have the opportunity to access local play, extended school or registered after school activities during term time. In addition, during school holidays children are supported to participate in local play or registered care schemes.

The Service offers:

• Appropriate support for children aged 4-18 to access their local After School Club, Registered Care Setting, Extended School Activities, Brownies, Cubs, Youth Clubs, Dance Groups, Art Clubs, Open Access Play Schemes or any other group activities.
