Your Future Kernow at the Bude SEND Event: A Day of Connection and Support


Your Future Kernow Team

On Friday, September 26th, the Parkhouse Centre in Bude hosted a lively SEND Event from 2–5:30 PM. The event was organised by the Bude Youth Working Group. The aim of the event was to make SEND families aware of services available to help.


The event raised awareness. It built connections and encouraged teamwork among groups that support our community.

A fantastic mix of organisations took part.

  • Corey’s Farm
  • Bee Team
  • Adsurf
  • Neon Frog
  • Bude Youth Initiative
  • Bude ADHD, Autism and SEN Group
  • Early Help
  • Statutory SEND Team
  • YEP! Project
  • Early Years Inclusion Service
  • SEND Support Services
  • Children’s Rights Officer
  • Your Future Kernow

Our team spoke with young people and their parents or carers about education and training options. We helped them think about their goals and how to take the next steps. It was amazing to see so many services in one space. Offering practical advice and celebrating the strength of Bude’s SEND community.

One young person shared their joy at getting into university. Others appreciated the support from Autism in Schools and Vic Mobile Catering.

Feedback was very positive. Over 90% of attendees said the event helped them understand what support is available locally. Many said the advice they received will help them find the right services. Most importantly, people felt the event was inclusive and welcoming—something we’re proud to have achieved together.

“It was incredible to see so many organisations come together to support young people and families. Events like this show the strength of our community and the real impact we can make when we work together.” - Barnaby Ridge, Manager, Your Future Kernow
