Seashell

Seashell is a charity transforming the lives of disabled children and young adults with the most complex needs.

[Seashell @seashelltrust]

Our multidisciplinary team don't just support our students - they extend their knowledge to organisations, professionals, families and disabled young people across the country.

We are proud to have trained over 275 organisations, 456 individuals, and 1,752 disabled children and young adults in the community.

We offer a range of training courses, including our PGDip MQ MSI, training the next generation of Qualified Teachers of Multi-Sensory Impairment (MSI).

We also deliver clinical therapeutic assessment and intervention in the community, as well as leisure activities such as holiday clubs, swimming, cycling and fitness.

We were delighted to welcome local MP @ThomasMorrison to Seashell Trust this week following a letter from our Student Governor Representative, Stevie, about the challenges disabled people face when using public transport.

Alongside fellow Royal College Manchester Student Ambassadors Laneyle and Kaitlin, Stevie spoke directly with Tom about limited wheelchair spaces on buses, accessibility issues at Handforth Station and the need for safer, more accessible routes around Stockport.

We are incredibly proud of our students for sharing their experiences and championing greater independence and accessibility for disabled people in our community.

Did you know Ofsted has changed the way it will be grading schools and colleges?

Inspectors have done away with labelling providers with just one overall effectiveness rating and instead have opted for a more detailed and transparent way of assessing.

Many of our Seashell parents and carers may have questions about this new process, so we’ve put together a handy guide on our website.

A brilliant day visiting our partner @seashelltrust today 💙

We were lucky enough to get a full tour of Seashell Trust's brand-new facilities and college - and it's genuinely amazing to see. For anyone unfamiliar, Seashell is a charity supporting children and young people with complex needs, helping them live fuller, more independent lives.

After the tour, we sat down in their lovely new offices with Emma Wright and Marie Travers to talk through everything SEO, AI, PPC and website.

A huge thank you to the Seashell Trust team for having us. Here's to continued success together 🙌
