JIGSAW Thornbury is a charity that works with all children and young people with additional needs or disabilities, and their families. We provide friendship, support, compassion and fun, along with innovative services that empower them to connect, fit in and thrive. Everything we do is driven by the passion of our staff and volunteers.
As well as being life changing for the young people and families we assist, our services are invaluable for the wider community too. We enhance inclusion by helping everyone understand the challenges that those with additional needs face and the unique strengths and qualities they bring.
