Welcome to Ruby’s
Ruby’s was founded in 2009 by Alison Parr when she identified a gap in support for children with SEND and their families after her daughter Ruby was born and diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder. In 2013 Ruby’s became a charity and company limited by guarantee. In 2014 we proudly opened the doors to our Congleton centre. The facilities at the centre include a community cafe which is open to everybody, a sensory room with hoist, soft play frame, sensory garden and changing room with hoist.
