The Log Cabin
The Log Cabin in Northfield Avenue, Ealing provides a setting where children and young people with additional needs or disabilities can socialise, grow and have fun alongside their mainstream peers
Children and young people with additional needs and disabilities often remain isolated from others and excluded from mainstream facilities. The Log Cabin is inclusive, welcoming mainstream siblings and local children and integrating everyone so that they socialise together, make new friends and form friendship groups, regardless of ability and of whether they have emotional, physical, behavioural or learning disabilities.
Children come to After School Club, Holiday Playschemes, Saturday Club and Start2gether - Stay and Play sessions. We also offer a counselling service to young people aged 11+ and to parents and carers.Address: The Log Cabin, 259 Northfield Avenue, Ealing, London, W5 4UA
