Special Spirits

Based in Manchester, Special Spirits provides extra-curricular programmes for children and young adults with special needs. Set up in 2006 by a team of young compassionate volunteers, Special Spirits provided respite care in the form of a winter camp for 5 children with special needs. Since then, Special Spirits has grown to providing 18 services including multiple daily programmes for 40+ children and young adults with a wide spectrum of special needs. We are a team of 6 members on the management committee and have qualified staff bringing skills to the children, with over 80 young volunteers a week.
