A vibrant, welcoming space where friendships flourish, confidence grows, and every session is filled with fun. Saturday Super Friends is open to all ages and designed to give children with learning disabilities a safe, supportive environment where they can truly be themselves.

Running from 10:00am-12:00pm at Solihull Fire Station, this much-loved group brings children together every other Saturday for a morning of connection, creativity, and laughter. Each session is thoughtfully shaped around what is happening in the world around us, from seasonal changes and public holidays to cultural and religious celebrations, helping children explore new ideas in an engaging and inclusive way.

Children can enjoy a wide range of activities including games, arts and crafts, music, and imaginative play. With access to a fully equipped kitchen for baking, a variety of toys and board games, and regular opportunities for creative expression, there is always something to spark interest and joy. Throughout the year, we also organise three exciting trips, giving children the chance to explore beyond the group and build shared experiences.

At Saturday Super Friends, we work closely with each child to create a relaxed and nurturing atmosphere, supporting them to build confidence, develop social skills, and form meaningful friendships that last.

A calm, caring space where children with profound and multiple needs can relax, explore, and enjoy their Saturday in a way that suits them. Fun Factory is designed to provide a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, supported, and fully included.

Running during term time from 10:00am-1:00pm at our SoLO house in Walnut Close, this three-hour session gives children the time and space to unwind after the week while engaging in meaningful, enjoyable activities.

With dedicated 1:1 staffing ratios, our specially trained team works closely with each child and their family to support individual goals set when joining SoLO. Every session is thoughtfully structured to balance gentle routine with flexibility, ensuring each child can participate in a way that feels right for them.

Activities include arts and crafts, baking, dressing up, sensory play, and outdoor activities, all carefully adapted to meet a wide range of needs and preferences. While Fun Factory welcomes all ages, children are supported within age-appropriate groups. As they move into secondary education, we provide tailored support to help ease this transition, aligning with SoLO’s holiday programmes.

At Fun Factory, every child is encouraged to build confidence, express themselves, and simply enjoy being part of a warm, understanding community.
