Half term holiday activities and Community Warm Space

The expanded children's activities have been a great success, and a real welcome for parents struggling to entertain their children over the holidays, and supporting them with their mental health.

During half term holidays a number of free and exciting activities have taken place at the Community Hub.

The activities were enjoyed by pre and school age children. These included pumpkin carving as part of the Halloween Spooktacular, Toy Story of Terror fil, crafts, scary cakes an spooky rocks.

Partner agencies have attended the events over the week and have been able to offer support regarding energy costs, how to provide cost effective meals, etc.

Funding is being sought by joint collaborations with the Volunteer Centre through grants and sponsorship opportunities.

Additional ideas for activities and support for running of these additional sessions is needed throughout the winter period.

Through working with Poppy PR we have been interviewed on Radio Leicester and Derby, and on Friday we have BBC TV attending the Community Hub.
