The Dorset Max Card
The Max Card entitles the holder plus one other person to free or discounted access to a range of leisure activities across Dorset. The Dorset Max Card Scheme is created and administered by the partnership of Dorset County Council and Action for Children.

The card is available to all Dorset based young carers, children in care, some care leavers and to children and young people who are disabled and registered on the Xchange.

Bridport ADHD and ASC Parent/Carer Support Group
We hope to provide a welcoming and understanding environment where parents and carers can meet with others who are experiencing similar challenges in their lives.

Dorset ADHD Support Group is a voluntary organisation that supports those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and their families.
The committee is made up of volunteers with no paid staff and provides support on a one to one basis as well as parent group meetings.

Cool2Care is an organisation bringing together families with disabled children and people who want to work caring for them. We recruit, screen, train and place care-workers and PAs with the families of disabled children, either to work in the family home or to take the child or young person out and about.The service is available now to families living in selected areas throughout the UK with new offices opening all the time.
