New Forest Outreach Support C.I.C. provides specialist support for children and young people through play, connection and personalised learning environments.

​

We understand that children engage best when they feel safe, comfortable and able to access support in a way that suits their individual needs.

 

Our Hub has been designed with this in mind, offering calm, adaptable spaces that can be tailored to different learning styles, sensory profiles and support requirements.

​

Our approach is child centred and flexible. Some children benefit from structure and routine, while others require movement, sensory regulation or opportunities to build confidence at their own pace. We work alongside families, schools and professionals to create support that is practical, consistent and focused on positive outcomes.

​

​

Our Environments

​

Our Hub has been intentionally designed to provide a natural, welcoming and low-arousal atmosphere.

Children and young people may access:

​

• Structured learning environments

• Sensory regulation spaces

• Quiet and low-stimulation areas

• Sensory resources and specialist equipment

• Tough trays and creative activities

• Movement and heavy work opportunities

• Therapy dog visits

• Adaptable lighting and sensory experiences

• Spaces that can be personalised to suit individual needs

​​

Our environments are flexible and can be adapted depending on whether a child benefits from routine and structure, sensory regulation, play based learning or a combination of approaches.

​

Small by Design

​

Our Hub currently offers three specialist environments, allowing us to keep placements intentionally small and personalised.

​

We believe many children and young people thrive in environments where numbers are lower, relationships are consistent and support can be adapted to meet individual needs. By limiting the number of placements available at any one time, we are able to maintain calm, welcoming spaces with the flexibility to respond to each child as an individual.

​

Our aim has never been to create a large provision. Instead, we have chosen to focus on quality, consistency and inclusivity, ensuring children have access to environments that feel safe, comfortable and appropriately supported.

​

Placements can be arranged for individuals or compatible small groups, with staffing ratios & environment security tailored according to need.

 

Our environments remain adaptable, and our team work closely with families, schools and professionals to identify the most suitable support arrangements.

​

We are committed to reducing barriers to access wherever possible and take an inclusive, person centred approach to our services. Rather than applying blanket exclusions, we consider each enquiry individually, working collaboratively to understand needs, assess risks appropriately and explore how we can provide meaningful and safe support.

​

Non-Profit Organisation - Inclusive Access Fund

​

As a Community Interest Company, any surplus generated through our services is reinvested back into the organisation and the community we support.

​

Part of this reinvestment is through our Inclusive Access Fund, which helps us reduce barriers to accessing support for children and families who may otherwise be unable to access specialist services.

​

The IAF contributes towards:

​

• Subsidised places

• Specialist resources and equipment

• Development of our environments

• New opportunities and projects

• Increasing accessibility across our services

• Support families on low income

​​

When schools, professionals and families choose New Forest Outreach Support C.I.C., they are not only investing in support for their own child or pupils, but also helping us create opportunities for others within the wider community.

​

At the heart of everything we do is a simple aim: to provide inclusive, flexible and meaningful support in environments where children and young people can feel safe, develop confidence and access opportunities in ways that work for them.
