Inclusive Connections Durham

20/10/2026

Dear SEND parents, we need your help!

The last few weeks we’ve seen a huge drop in bookings, connections and activity here at our Centre….

It seems the little gremlins are at work again and not showing our posts (it’s all to do with trying to get us to pay as we are a ‘business’, we aren’t actually a business we are a non-government funded, non-profit CHARITY, ran solely by VOLUNTEERS)

If you see our posts, updates or anything in between, please take a second to hit the like 👍🏻 button, and share if you can; as the more interaction we get the more the gremlins will disappear.

FB have already banned links to b00king sites and pages, making it even harder for us to run efficiently, it now looks like they are hiding our posts. 🤬

PLEASE help with this tiny request as if sessions remain empty, we will have to remove them altogether. 🫶🏻🦁
