Young People & Families

We have a range of projects, services and activities aimed at children, young people and families.

Holiday Schemes

Most school holidays we provide activity schemes for 5 years and older at affordable prices as we know how difficult it is for parents and carers to access schemes locally. Often our schemes provide full days of activities such as:

  • Crafts, arts and stone carving

  • Drama workshops

  • Sports, including coaching provided by local sports clubs

  • Outdoor adventure and bushcraft

  • Team work

  • Community projects

  • Baking and cooking

We base our sessions around fun, informal, hands on activity sessions that allow children and young people a chance to meet others, enjoy familiar as well as new activities, learn new skills and develop new friendships. 

Our sessions take place across our catchment area to enable as many children and young people access, these often take place in local village halls and schools. Our priority is to provide places for children and young people from within our catchment area, but if there are spaces available we do allow others living outside of the area access.

This year’s Easter and Summer holiday sessions went extremely well, thank you to all those who took part and we look forward to seeing some of you at future Events.

Family Days

We provide occasional family activity days for all age groups, these usually take place in village halls and are often centred around different seasonal celebrations such as Easter, Christmas etc. Keep a look out on our Diary of Events for updates.

These activity days are usually free of charge and open to any age group and family make up, but we do ask that children are accompanied by a parent/carer.

You will also find us at some of the popular agriculture shows in summer such as the Hesket Newmarket show, where we provide a full day of activities.
