Drawing & Talking
Various
Weston Primary Schools
Our Children's and Families Coordinator, Debbie, runs Drawing and Talking sessions for pupils at Weston Park Primary School. Drawing and Talking is a therapeutic intervention which can be used with children, young people and adults.
​
The enjoyable and accessible sessions enable children to begin to understand and express their emotions more fully, helping them to be more at peace within themselves and the world around them. There are different approaches to suit the individual including 1:1, sand and group work.
​
PRIMARY SCHOOLs' work
Various
Our team also support the local primary schools through mentoring, assemblies (faith and non-faith), and group work. ​
FAMILY work
Various
We are passionate about making a difference in Weston, and that includes supporting parents, carers and family members; not just their children and young people. We have supported local families in different ways in the past, such as facilitating meetings, running family trips and organising community events. One of the most significant ways that we have done this recently is through working with local churches and organisations as 'Love Weston' to run community events, such as at Easter and Halloween.​
DETACHED YOUTH WORK
Various
Detached work is where some of our team go out into the estate, meeting children, families, and young people in parks and around the neighbourhood to get to know them, finding ways to support them and let them know about our work and other services that might benefit them. We do this in the warmer months when more people are out and we enjoy having a mobile presence in our community. If you see us about, come and say hello!
​
TRIPS
Various
We run a variety of amazing trips throughout the year for children and families, taking a group for fun trips to places like Playzone, Ninja Warrior, and Marwell. Trips provide children with new and exciting opportunities for activities, to develop friendships, and to learn new skills. Come along to our groups and follow our social media pages to look out for our next trip!
​
Residentials
Various
In the past, we have run a variety of amazing residentials for children to exciting places like YMCA Fairthorne Manor. Residentials provide children with new and exciting opportunities for activities, as well as to develop friendships, learn new skills, and develop their independence. We hope to be able to run more Primary residentials in the future!
