Our story · Privacy policy
From our founders
Why we built SEN Village
Eve Hodges
Founder & CEO
After seeing first hand how difficult it is for parents and carers of children with SEN to find meaningful relationships with our peers, SEN Village was born!
Alex Green
Founder & CTO
SEN Village is my personal answer to that. I am incredibly proud to channel my tech background into bridging this massive gap, helping to create a safe, welcoming space where families can find the genuine connection and support they deserve.
Work with us
Organisation accounts help charities, schools, therapists, and inclusive venues reach SEN families without joining Village matching.
