Holiday Activity Fund


The Department for Education are providing a Holiday Activity Fund across Cheshire East.
 
All children who are eligible for free school meals will be able to access the exciting holiday activities for free and get a nutritious meal as well. This is a fantastic opportunity for children to take part in fun activities, meet other children and boost their confidence.

For information on all activities across the borough visit Holiday Activity Fund 2021 - #HAF2021.
Reducing Social Isolation and Building Resilience

Riverbank Psychology are launching a new Team of Life training for people who work with children and young people in schools and the community to help reduce social isolation. During lockdowns due to the pandemic, many children have felt isolated and alone. This training will involve learning how to use narrative therapy to help increase pro-social behaviour. For more information on the training go to Team of Life Training.
Managing Emotions

Next Chapter North West are providing a course for children and young people aged 8-16 years, who would like to better understand their emotions, stress and worry by providing a toolkit and personalised framework for use in everyday life.  
The course is delivered in small groups of similarly aged children and young people over seven weeks. Parents are required to take part in one workshop to gain insight into the learning of their child and support to embed that learning into family life. 
For a consultation and to check the suitability of the course contact team@nextchapternwcic.co.uk or contact Next Chapter on Facebook.
