Something special is coming to Hounslow this summer!
Skylarks Charity to open new space in Hounslow
We’re thrilled to introduce Skylarks Hounslow, our newest space created for families of children with additional needs at Inwood Road Park. And today, we’re excited to share a little sneak peek of the designs with you!
Since 2006, Skylarks Charity has been supporting children and young people with disabilities or additional needs – and their families. Over the years, hundreds of families have found a home with Skylarks. Now, we’re bringing that same trusted support to Hounslow.
Families in Hounslow have told us they need support that feels closer to home. We’ve listened. Skylarks is growing with the community, offering free and inclusive services that make a real difference where they’re needed most.
At Skylarks Hounslow, families can look forward to:
- Fun, inclusive activities for all ages
- Expert led therapies and support sessions
- Friendly advice and guidance when you need it most
- Workshops to build confidence and life skills
- All delivered in a fully accessible, welcoming environment, free of charge!
This is more than just a new location, it’s a warm, welcoming space where families can connect, feel part of a community, and thrive together.
Skylarks Hounslow will provide much-needed space to facilitate a range of services and activities, including therapies such as music therapy, play therapy, stress-free haircuts, advice and support services, and SEND education advice.
Aaron Guiver, MD of Skylarks, shared “Skylarks is working hard to extend our services to more families by opening our Hounslow site in summer 2025.
“We are delighted to be in a position to open a base in Hounslow and engage with more families. With an ever-increasing demand for services and no statutory funding, we are grateful for the support of our partners, sponsors, volunteers, and fundraisers who are helping to turn this exciting project into reality.”
Families are welcome to come to the Twickenham or Hounslow centres from wherever they travel, and a range of services are also offered online.
Once complete, Skylarks Hounslow in Inwood Road will host a dedicated sensory room, a tech hub designed for helping young people with the skills needed for future employment, free information and advice, and space for children with additional needs and their siblings to play.
An open day will be held for families and sponsors in the Summer of 2025 at the new Hounslow site, with an official launch day to be held once the full works have finished. Families who would like to attend the open day will be able to register their interest and book their free place on the Skylarks website.
Despite enormous funding challenges and rising community needs, Skylarks is growing.
Last year, we delivered over 9,000 free activity sessions, and our online provision also offers support, information, and advice, as well as a peer support network nationwide.
With no statutory funding stream, Skylarks welcomes donations, fundraising champions, pro-bono sponsors and volunteers.
Dee Carswell, Skylarks Head of Partnerships & Fundraising, said “Thank you to our incredible fundraisers for your continued support of this exciting and evolving project. Your efforts are helping shape a fantastic new offer for families in Hounslow, and we’re so grateful to have you with us on this journey.”
