About this Event

Moving from school to college can be difficult and the summer holidays can be tough for many young people. To help with the transition and to keep you in touch with others during the holiday we are holding fun sports, gaming, drama, and cooking sessions during July and August.

These sessions are specifically for care-experienced young people, students with Education Health Care Plan (EHCPs), young adult carers, young people with learning disabilities, those with mental health difficulties, or current students who are being supported by our ASPIRE counselling service.

You can book as many activities as you like, the dates and times are on the booking page.
