Short Breaks

Parent Voice is very pleased to tell you about Hampshire County Council’s Short Breaks programme for children and young people with disabilities and/or additional needs.




Short breaks are available to children and young people who:

  • Have a disability and/or additional needs and may require support to participate in leisure and recreation activities.
  • Are between 0 and 19 years old.
  • Live in Hampshire and/or attend a school in Hampshire (excluding Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight as they have similar schemes).

The programme has been designed on the basis of feedback from parents, carers and young people on the previous Aiming High for Disabled Children programme.


New for this year is the “Gateway Card” which is free and can help you to access activities, play schemes and buddy schemes available through the short breaks programme.

The leaflets are available by clicking on the links below:

The Short Breaks leaflet sets out the programme available and the various ways you can access a short break.

The Gateway Card leaflet explains about the card and contains a registration form which can be printed off and returned by freepost. Alternatively, you can apply online at HantsWeb Gateway Card.

If you would like to print off a Communication Passport, please click on either Child's Passport or Teen's Passport

The Community Buddies leaflet outlines the new buddy scheme available to children and young people aged 7 – 19. The List of approved providers will give you the contact details of where you can get your Community Buddy.

Be one of the first to receive and benefit from the Gateway Card by applying for this now at HantsWeb Gateway Card or by returning the form via FREEPOST.
