Charity organises action packed activity sessions for kids with additional needs
There's an ever-growing waiting list for a holiday scheme specifically aimed at children aged between 8 and 18 with additional needs.
Each school holiday, local charity Crossroads Isle of Man hosts 'action packed activity sessions' for kids who ordinarily receive support during term-time.
Currently, 40 children access the initiative which gives their families and carers respite one day a week.
But Children's Services Manager Christine Barlow says the wider demand for the scheme is 'huge'.
Manx Radio caught up with Christine, and Holiday Scheme Lead Eleanor Goddard, to find out more:
