    SCAFT - Supporting Carers & Families Together

    Many of those young people that have been with us for a while will remember the annual trip to Stubbers Outdoor Centre, which sadly we've had to suspend in recent years due to the high cost. I'm pleased to say that thanks to a grant from Essex County Council we are able to reinstate a trip for this year, which will be during the Easter holiday, on Friday 12th April. The actual list of activities included is not confirmed yet; however, I can say that given the time of year we will NOT be undertaking any water based activities.

    We will travel by coach to arrive at Stubbers for around 9am and leave to return home at around 4.30pm. There will be pickup/drop-off points for the coach in Rochford, Hockley and Rayleigh. Places will be limited so please ensure you book on 01268 741811, in good time and we will require a £5 deposit per family (refundable on attendance).

    YOUR PLACE WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED/SECURE UNTIL WE HAVE RECEIVED THE £5 DEPOSIT, which may either dropped to the office or handed to the session leader at a group session.

    (Unfortunately deposits are necessary due to significant numbers of people booking and then not turning up in the past, thus wasting spaces for others who could have gone).     ... See MoreSee Less
