Young People & Families
We have a range of projects, services and activities aimed at children, young people and families.
Holiday Schemes
YOUTH ACTIVITY SCHEME
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 and arts
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.
Sessions this year will be held between Caldbeck and Rosley Parish Halls and some outdoor locations. Please click the link below to find out more.
Our 2025 summer season is now over and has as ever we’ve had a great feedback from parents and kids alike. Lots of great activities were undertaken from sports to craft, to cooking etc. all under the watchful eyes of our brilliant Youth Workers Hannah, Lena and Chloe. Look out on our Diary of Events for such schemes in the future.
SUMMER 11-16 year old’s ACTIVITY SCHEME
In August we provided 3 days of exciting activities in and around the area for our local 11 to 16 year old’s. There were 5 places for each session, [Ernest Cook (Mungrisdale): Nature activities & Go Ape (Whinlatter Forest): Climbing activities] - geared towards our slightly older local children and teenagers. We hope to do more such sessions in the future working with these and other organisations.
We would love to hear from older teenagers in our catchment area to engage with them and find out what activities they would like and what we can do to support them. Please email Chloe Duerdin with any suggestions and queries: youth@northernfellsgroup.org.uk
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.
Other activities
We also hold health and wellbeing sessions such as:
Hesket Newmarket Allotment project - An outdoor community space for sharing time, growing plants and hopefully sharing produce!
