How do you afford to pay more than 2 clubs per month?

I often read in forums about many parents paying for 3 or 4 clubs per child each month. Also send clubs/send activities are expensive.

Autism/adhd specific or clubs for everyone? For us here, we get funding for both. we have specific funding for his therapy by the government, and then the government can also give you $50-$100 a year for sports or creative clubs. Maybe ask your pediatrician/ therapy team if there is any help to fund different clubs. For us personally, we just have therapy after school. we are looking into doing sports, but we are unsure which ones as school really wears my son out, so it's harder for him to have the energy for more clubs, but during the school holidays we try and take advantage of the funding and do some activities.

@Meg both clubs for everyone and send clubs. Uk based

Have a look into the local offer from your local council. Depending where you are and if your child is in receipt of at least middle rate DLA there they maybe able to offer funding which is to go towards short break respite care.

@Grace thank you. I'll have a look.
