The Mallard is a safe, purpose-built space where your child’s needs, preferences, and happiness come first. Located in the heart of Springburn, Glasgow, we provide respite short breaks for children and young people (aged 5-21) with additional or complex needs. Our warm, family-focused approach means every stay is carefully planned to be enjoyable, comfortable, and tailored to each child.

Our short breaks give children and young people the chance to:

  • Relax in a safe, nurturing environment
  • Try new activities and experiences
  • Build independence, confidence and social skills

Each child has a dedicated key worker who will plan activities around their likes, interests, and goals. 

During their stay, children can enjoy:

  • Sensory room
  • Hydrotherapy spa pool
  • Art and craft room
  • Large enclosed garden
  • Giant ball pit
  • Home-cooked meals

Our fees are competitive within the sector, and in some cases, services may be free. We can guide you through any available funding options.
