East London Send Network

the east london send network is an asset based, parent led, person centred peer support network. members are all parents of disabled children/ children with additional needs. our central focus is on the co-delivery of person centred support models. our network partners range from statutory to third sector organisations but always with an emphasis on the redistribution of power. our commitment to long range social change stems from our vested interest in the well being of our children, who rank amongst the most vulnerable individuals in society. because of our commitment to asset based community development, our operational activity functions on a shoe string. our activity occurs mainly during the academic year, and we are now entering our second iteration- having originally formed under the name of the tower hamlets and newham send net. our long term vision includes self managed, anti hierarchical teams connected through the shared dream of a society in which our children are included,
