We have offices at the Green Banks centre for disabled children, Margate, and Orchards centre for disabled children, Sittingbourne. These are fantastic modern resources for disabled children, where medical staff such as occupational therapists, physio therapists, audiologists and dentists work alongside disabled children’s social work teams and charities like For Us Too, to provide a joined up service to local children and their families.
We provide family support services and drop-ins at both centres, and also run fun days and events across Swale, Canterbury and Thanet.
Telephone: 01795 227171 – please note this is not the phone number for Orchards reception, this is For Us Too’s number only.
Telephone: 01843 446030 – please note this is not the phone number for Green Banks reception, this is For Us Too’s number only.
As all our staff work part-time, it is best to phone or email ahead and make an appointment if you’d like to come to the office to see a member of staff. Families and professionals are welcome.
Green Banks and Orchards are both equipped with fantastic soft play and sensory rooms, which families of disabled children can book for private use. Please ask For Us Too staff if you’d like to do this.
For Us Too runs fun drop-in support sessions on Fridays at Orchards, 10.00 – 12.00. Please check our notices on Facebook or Twitter or give us a call to find out when the next session in your area is.
We have recently opened an advice hub in the heart of Margate where people can drop in during the week, Monday to Friday from 10am until 2pm for support and advice or just for a chat and a coffee.
Our toy and book libraries enable children to access both educational and fun toys/books. There is a small soft play area for younger children and lots of games and activities for all ages.
We are open on some weekends and after school for activities for children such as Movie clubs and LEGO therapy.
