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

Running 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 Social, 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 relaxed and welcoming space to end the week on a high. Friday Club North is the perfect opportunity for children of all ages to unwind, have fun, and enjoy time with friends in a safe and supportive environment.

Taking place every Friday during term time from 5:30-8:00pm at our SoLO house in Walnut Close, this session is all about choice, comfort, and connection. Children are free to shape their own experience, whether they prefer energetic play or a more calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Friday Club North is designed as a play-led session where children can explore their interests and make their own independent choices, all with the guidance and support of our experienced team. The setting includes an enclosed outdoor space for active play, as well as a sensory room for those who benefit from a quieter, more calming environment.

With a strong focus on encouraging friendships and social interaction, the club creates opportunities for children to connect, build confidence, and simply enjoy being part of a community.

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

With dedicated 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 Saturday Social 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 Saturday Social, every child is encouraged to build confidence, express themselves, and simply enjoy being part of a warm, understanding community.
