Children’s wellbeing is at the heart of all our work. Some families choose to come along to activities and groups, including holiday fun days and courses, whilst others may be looking for more individual support. Over the page you’ll find our latest programme of activities and below are some examples of the types of more individual support we can offer. Please get in touch if you think we may be able to help: Building secure relationships between children and their parents or carers and having fun together Changes in family life, such as separation or bereavement, a new baby or moving schools Managing children’s more difficult behaviour The impact of adults’ and children’s physical or mental health needs The impact of bullying, violence or drug or alcohol misuse Building children’s confidence and emotional wellbeing We welcome new ideas from families, so please contact us if you have thoughts about what’s needed locally or you’d like to be involved in helping us to plan services for the future. We look forward to hearing from you. Contact us East Sure Start Children’s Centre 42a 01228 888 470 Kendal West Sure Start Children’s Centre Kendal Green, 01228 888 320
