Navigating support services can often feel like a maze. To help you find the right path, we’ve updated our Inclusion and SEND signposting page where you will find a dedicated space to connect you with local events, specialist information, and professional advice.
Date: Saturday 22 August 2026
Time: 1 - 2.30pm and 3 - 4.30pm
Venue: East Greenwich Fire Station, 325 Woolwich Road, SE7 7RF
This is a free event, but all children under 16 will need a ticket so that we can manage numbers. Parents/carers do not need a ticket.
Our SEND event is a chance for primary school children in the borough of Greenwich with SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) to visit East Greenwich Fire Station.
This event includes messy play, sensory areas, quiet rooms, and water play (so bring a spare change of clothes!).
You’ll also be able to take a look at our fire engines, spray water using our hose reels and explore our Fire Station. Our friendly Educational Team will be there too - helping to promote fire safety through practical play, sensory toys and role play.
We look forward to seeing you there!
