Story

The National Portage Association has been a amazing for our family, supporting our son, Seb, through regular sessions with his amazing Portage worker, Ella. Seb loves these sessions, and we’ve seen incredible progress in his development thanks to their therapy.

Portage is a home-visiting educational service for pre-school children with SEND and their families.

Portage works with families like ours to help children progress in all areas of their Learning and Development.  The National Portage Association is the umbrella organisation and charity that supports all Portage services in the country. 

To give back, my friend Tom and I will be running the Manchester Marathon on 27th April 2025 to raise money for this incredible charity.
