Meridian is one of the Together Trust’s short breaks services. We are a leading disability charity in the North West. 

The whole family can rest and recharge with our short breaks. Meridian gives children and young people a wonderful opportunity to make friends, have fun and experience new things. We’ve put a lot of love into designing our home to create warm, friendly and nurturing spaces for the young people we support. It really is a home from home. 

We’ve got sensory rooms, low stimulus spaces and an outdoor play area. Not to mention our lovely communal spaces. With space for up to five children each night, we offer personalised care and plenty of opportunities for your child to learn, socialise and play.
