Whippersnappers are leaders in the field of disability as both service and training providers (see the trainings on offer below)

Whippersnappers have been working as an Inclusive company since 2001 when we were funded by The National Youth Foundation to deliver specialist and inclusive music workshops for children with disability.

We work closely with both Lambeth and Southwark Aiming High who have recently joint funded our new “Inclusive Community Arts Centre” in Dulwich Park. .

Since 2001 we have been delivering inclusive holiday play schemes. We currently provide specialist and inclusive holiday play opportunities for children with profound complex needs.attending The Livity School and Chery Gardens School. We also run Inclusive play schemes and after school clubs on our premises at Brockwell lido and College Lodge.

In Feb 2010 we successfully won a tender to deliver Disability Awareness training to Lambeth play settings. In 2011 Lambeth recommissioned us to deliver a “Lets Get Inclusive” training programme for Lambeth nurseries, childminders, foster carers, after school clubs and youth settings.

We have a wide range of training programmes available and can deliver bespoke training or accredited courses.

Courses can be delivered at a venue of your choice.

As a tribute to Max and in lieu of flowers his parents , Polly and Gerhard , would love you to make a donation in his memory to The Max Boomgaarden Cook Foundation. This foundation supports two local community organizations with which Max was very involved throughout his childhood and teenage years. These organizations are Whippersnappers and The Lambeth Cricket Academy.
