Meridian is one of the Together Trust’s short breaks services. We are a leading disability charity in the North West.
Meridian supports children and young people up to the age of 18 with autism and additional / associated needs.
Meridian enables the whole family to benefit from the service by providing short breaks for children and young people. We support children and young people to access activities, have new and fun experiences, make links with the local community, form friendships and build positive relationships. Families feel secure that their child is in a safe and stimulating environment with a trained and caring staff team who can meet their needs. Meridian also supports children and young people with life skills, including communication and independence. We’ve put a lot of love, care and attention into designing our home to create warm, friendly and nurturing spaces. We support and encourage the children and young people to thrive, get involved and feel comfortable. It really is a home from home.
We’ve got a sensory room, low stimulus spaces and an outdoor play area. Not to mention our lovely communal spaces. With space for up to five children each night, we offer personalised care and plenty of opportunities for your child to learn, socialise and play.
