We Need You!
Chorus West Lothian CIC exist to provide much needed services and support for ASN children in the local community as well as their families.
ASN children and their families can find themselves fortunate to enough to be supported in their attainment and inclusivity in the classroom. However, we have found the services out-with school hours and term time have become extremely scarce or are too expensive for families to engage with. This creates a barrier for these children to be included in society and leaves parents and care givers struggling and isolated with very little support.
This is where Chorus steps in by offering free & minimal-cost classes and support groups. This distinguishes Chorus from commercial businesses as these companies can only offer funded or paid places within their remit.
We are on a mission to create an inclusive environment for all children and families regardless of any diagnosis or neurodiversity, removing the barriers between children with ASN and society.
With that in mind, we’ve created a safe place to post about your highs and lows as an ASN parent and support each other as we raise our amazing children :Β
We are creating a safe place to enjoy classes, activities, tuition, coffee mornings, support drop in sessions and much much more that will encourage relationships between like-minded families making inclusion in the community possible without any stigma.
They say it takes village but we need a community of people who recognise how important it is to support ASN children and their caregivers.
Here are some very real ways you can very quickly help us in our mission!
Did you know you can shop with Chorus online or with a brochure? We are on hand as your personal beauty advisors with product recommendations, advice, tips and tricks to suit your beauty needs!
We have been asked about memberships to help support our little community for a while. With the help of our supporters, we hope to be able to reach and support more children with additional support needs and their families as well as welcome more children and young people into our centre.
Here's Where Your Help Goes...
Hear from families who have found support and belonging through our inclusive ASN classes and support.
"We have loved coming to Chorus.
My son has thrived here thanks to Sarah and her family. She has an amazing connection with the kids and families who attend. My son loves the music lessons with Luke and had so much fun making
friends at the workshops over the summer. Chorus is a wonderful place where families can spend time together, no judgement, just acceptance and support"
"Jack loves Chorus.
First time he ever approached a child himself with no prompting was during a class. Jack lacks most social skills so heβs never acknowledged other children but during his class he went up and stroke a boys face and hair.
I love that during the class he can be himself with no judgement. He canβt sit for more than a second and thereβs never any pressure for him to do so here! "
"Me and stewart both love chorus!
Its helped stewart keep busy and find a new place he can be himself with no judgement or pressure to engage. Sensory workshop class and the sensory room is his favourite, ofcourse the water tray too π He can be himself and feel included in his little community!
You have helped me to get a bit of a break especially being open through the summer holidays. Also, helped me socially, improved my mental health and make new friends. You have inspired me in many ways to look forward to the future β¨οΈ so much more I could write about this brilliant little safe haven β€οΈ THANK YOU xx"
