SEND IASS North Northants FutureFest: Preparing for Adulthood Event

SEND IASS will be hosting a Preparing for Adulthood event which is due to take place next year on Thursday 23rd April 2026. This will be an exciting, interactive event for young people aged 13+ with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and their parent-carers. 

Unlike traditional information events, we want our FutureFest to be lively, interest-led, and hands-on. It will be a celebration of possibilities for young people as they explore their next steps in education, employment, training, health, community life, and independent living.

Here are the details we can share with you now:

  • Date and time: Thursday 23rd April 2026 from 10am-5pm

  • The morning session, from 10am to 1pm, will welcome local schools and colleges bringing groups of students to explore the marketplace and workshops.

  • In the afternoon, from 2pm to 5pm, the event will open to all young people and their parent-carers. This includes those attending after school, as well as those who are not currently in school, college, or training. This ensures everyone has the opportunity to access information, inspiration, and support.

  • Our venue is the Corby Council Chamber, Corby Cube, George Street, Parklands Gateway, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN17 1QG. In addition to the main hall, we will have access to several rooms on the same floor, as well as outdoor space at the Cube.
