Working with Charitable Organisations
At Senco Services we work with several Charitable Organisations to help them achieve their goals.
This often comes in the role of:
- An SEND Advisor
Helping the charity understand how SEND is handled within the Education sector. - A SEND Programme Contributor
Helping to design charity funded initiatives for SEND children and their ongoing operations once deployed. - Offering Parent & Carer SEND Support
Providing charity funded services to those that need access to SEND advice and process.
If you are interested in understanding how Senco Services can assist your charitable organisation, get in touch for a free discussion.
Examples of working with Charitable Organisations
Ambitious about Autism is the national charity for autistic children and young people. They support autistic children, young people and their families to champion rights, campaign for change and create opportunities.
Senco Services have been working with Ambitious about Autism to design a programme called ‘Autistic and OK’. Our specific role has been to educate them on mainstream school structure, helping the team understand how to pitch their offering, make it work within a secondary school environment, and how to approach and educate schools to achieve successful outcomes.
The programme will pioneer ground-breaking autism acceptance toolkits for secondary schools and provide resources for autistic pupils, non-autistic peers, and teachers. The toolkit will empower autistic young people with the knowledge and self-awareness to proactively look after their own mental wellbeing before reaching crisis point.
The program will initially run in 600 schools throughout the UK with the hope of eventually being provided to all UK secondary schools.

The Eastern Counties Educational Trust (ECET) supports the education, training, care, and welfare of people with special educational needs, particularly those under 25 with emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Senco Services have been supporting ECET for more than 5 years, helping them prospect secondary schools in East Anglia suitable for specific SEND targeted financial support.
One of our many achievements is the design, funding and implementation of a Mental Health programme running in a Multi-Academy Trust with 21 primary schools.
The programme was initially designed to address the surge in mental health related issues in primary schools post-covid, providing (with the support of the YMCA Trinity Group) a qualified Mental Health therapist to conduct one-to-one therapy, with additional group sessions focused on self-esteem, anxiety, behavioural and family challenges.
The programme has been so successful, that it is now in its 3rd year.

CPotential offer a range of holistic integrated therapies and support for children and young people with movement disorders, due to conditions such as cerebral palsy, global developmental delay or acquired brain injury.

- Navigating the SEN Code of Practice
