SCAFT - Supporting Carers & Families Together

11 hours ago

Following many conversations with our young carers and their families, many expressed how difficult the long summer break could be without any additional respite and support.Once again we’re pleased to say that The National Lottery Community Fund agreed additional funding to enable us to offer a series of 4 groups during this years summer break.These groups will be for any child or young person who is registered to attend any of our groups (includes both age groups and both Rayleigh and Rochford venues). Those who only attend One2One sessions in schools could also attend, however, we will require updated parental consent and emergency details first.Numbers will be limited and we will need to know in advance how many are attending at each session so pre-booking is required. This is to ensure adequate levels of supervision, refreshments, etc.)We will release more details nearer the time and are hoping to include a schedule of activities so everyone knows what is coming up in advance. ...
