Japan Golf with Useful Vision

Family Fun Day

Park golf is a fun and simple sport that anyone can enjoy. Unlike regular golf, you only need 1 club, 1 ball, and a tee to play. You hit the ball from a teeing ground towards a hole, counting the number of strokes you take until the ball goes into the cup. The object is to put the ball in the cup with the fewest number of strokes.  Saturday 11th October 2025  10:30AM -12:30PM  Lawe Road, South Shields NE33 2AJ, UK Book here: https://www.usefulvision.org.uk/events/japan-golf/

Skills for People

Skills for People is a charity which has been supporting disabled people and their families since 1983. The Family Advice and Support Team provides support for parents and carers in Newcastle upon Tyne who have children and young people up to the age of 25, who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. The team gives information and advice on a range of issues and can also work with a family to provide more in depth support if needed. We have a regular newsletter, hold coffee mornings across the city and have a closed facebook page for parents called Pass it on Parents Newcastle. We can help with funding applications and can provide training such as Positive Behaviour Workshops for parents to understand and support their child where behaviours are a concern. We work with partners in education, health and social care as well as other voluntary organisations.

Autism Support Service is commissioned by North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (NENC ICB) and delivered by Daisy Chain.
