SEND Next Choices

The annual SEND Next Choices – Getting Ready for Adult Life event will be held at the Leeds first direct arena on Thursday 29th June 2023 between 10am-6pm.

The event will bring together a wide range of organisations who can offer information, advice and support to SEND young people, and their parents and carers, as they look to move on into their careers and into adult life.

The event will be fun, informative and interactive to engage visitors and provide answers to queries around jobs, training, apprenticeships, college courses, voluntary work, leisure activities, finances and benefits and services to support young people into adulthood. 

There will also be information sessions about supported internships and financial support.

Everyone is welcome and the event is free to attend. You can book your free ticket for one of three time slots: 

▪️ 10am to 12pm
