Every Story Counts

We know that statistics alone don’t show the whole picture. Real stories from families like yours help us demonstrate the urgent need for a new specialist school in Scarborough. By sharing your experience, you can help us lobby North Yorkshire Council and decision-makers to act now.

By sharing your story, you’ll help us shine a light on the challenges children and parents face every day  - and show why change can’t wait any longer.

How We Can Use Your Story

  • With your permission, short excerpts or individual sentences can be used in campaign materials, in letters to councillors and MPs, and in evidence we present to North Yorkshire Council.

  • You can choose to remain anonymous.

  • We will always respect your privacy and never share personal details without your consent.

What to Write About

        You don’t need to write a lot - just a few sentences is enough. Here are some prompts that might help you:

  • What challenges has your child faced in accessing suitable education locally?

  • How has the lack of provision affected your child’s wellbeing, learning, or future opportunities?

  • What has been the impact on your family life - emotionally, financially, or practically?

  • What difference would a local specialist school make for you?

Every Story Counts

By adding your voice, you help us show the local authority and government that Scarborough families deserve better.
