Confidence is growing and friendships are being forged at a scout group for children with additional needs. When 66th Coventry Scout Group was set up in September, about eight or nine parents brought their children to the Wednesday meetings and many were timid.
Over three months, the youngsters have become happy and excited about joining in and their confidence has grown. The group, which meets at Sherborne Fields Special School and takes boys and girls, is now oversubscribed with a list of nearly 70 children waiting to join.
