Taking place on set weeks during the school holiday period, our Child and Family Weeks offer families with children with additional needs, young carers or those living with difficult health conditions the opportunity to spend time together in a supportive environment and meet other families in similar situations with whom they can share experiences and form friendships.
These weeks offer a structured activity programme for families and provide a break away from the challenges and demands of everyday life. Activities vary, from animal workshops to crafts, nature walks, swimming, and baking. Our educational workshops also provide support for parents, sharing tips, tools, and resources to help build resilience and improve wellbeing.
