We are currently undergoing new website updates.
The Daisy Chain Club was started in September 2000, when a few families wanted somewhere to go with all the children in the family without standing out. The group was originally given some funding from Scope Northamptonshire to start up, and the group met at the PHAB centre once a month on a Sunday. Once the group started building up in numbers it was decided to meet during the school holidays as well. The club is run by parents who all have a child with a disability or special needs, therefore giving a friendly welcome feeling to new members. Everyone can understand what others are going through, and its great to chat to someone who knows how your feeling!!
Daisy Chain was very lucky to be allocated “Children’s Fund” money, a goverment initative for unique support groups for 3 years. This moved the group forward and helped with Charity status being achieved.
