Our History

  • Founded in 1973, for young children with additional needs, to provide a safe place of acceptance, with provision for children in the local community to inclusively play and learn together. COG has been providing enriching and stimulating learning experiences to generations of children for more than 50 years, taking an holistic family approach.

  • England: Gloucestershire

Beneficiaries

  • Children / Young People

    Children aged 0-4 during term time and aged 0-8 during the summer holidays. Many of the children have a disability, additional need and/or are negatively impacted by deprivation and disadvantage.

  • People with Disabilities

    Children and adults (parents) with disabilities are supported by our charity. Some of the health conditions are diagnosed and some are pre-diagnosis. These conditions include physical and/or social, emotional, communication or mental health needs.

  • People in poverty

    Families experiencing the negative effects of poverty are supported by our charity, via our Foodbank referrals, our Sharing Shed (food, clothes and toiletries) and through our hot meal programme.

Our Vision for a better future

  • Maintaining our nurturing, caring and supportive ethos and practice, to truly benefit local children and their families. We will continue to enable families to learn how to overcome challenges & barriers to learning and development and give every child the opportunity to fulfil their potential and thrive, with their needs fully understood and met.

Our goals to make a difference

  • Children are supported to reach their potential, according to their individual needs, through special educational needs support and one-to-one Music Therapy.

  • Parents develop more confidence in their skills as a parent to understand and support their child's developmental needs, (physical, social and emotional).

  • The isolation felt by families is reduced. Our Early Intervention groups & the 1:1 support we provide, create opportunities for families to thrive.
