SENAID is a charity committed to advocating for and supporting families with children who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) across the West Midlands. Our mission is to empower parents, caregivers, and children through vital resources, guidance, and services tailored to the SEND community. We provide advice, connect families with local resources, and offer direct intervention services to ensure children and families are not isolated in their educational journeys. We strive to raise awareness, influence policy change, and ensure every child with SEND can access the support and inclusion they deserve. Our approach is holistic, compassionate, and community-centred.

Masjid Al Falah in partnership with Walsall FC, Weetabix Wildcats and PACT have been able to offer this amazing opportunity for free girls football.
