Our Disabled Children’s Resource Centre “Children and Young People with Disabilities (CYPD) Hub” is based at Stevens Road, Dagenham RM8 2QR.

CYPD delivers a full programme of services for children and young people with disabilities; and additional needs; and their parents and carers. Some of these services are universal and some targeted at the interests and needs of particular groups. It is a base to meet for groups of parents, the local voluntary sector and others.

The building has been designed to be fully inclusive and includes a full track and hoist system, a wet room, a hearing loop and adjustable height cooker.
