6 Week Family Programme
This programme met our expectations very well with a good range of activities and positive feedback from families. One child’s confidence developed over the weeks – from being reluctant to share their thoughts initially, to putting their hand up to answer and volunteering to take part in activities in the last session- the parent also commented on how the child’s confidence had grown over the weeks. In the same group, one parent’s confidence grew, with support, to have a go at the activities with their child and positively compliment their child as they were completing tasks. We enjoyed hosting the course in school and feel many other families would benefit from attending. Karen, Family Support Worker, South Ribble, Lancashire. February 2025
I’ll take a deep breath (to help me move out of the red zone and into the green zone). My favourite part of the programme was EVERYTHING. Noelle, child, Darwen May 2025
It was valuable learning about emotions & equipping us with ideas & ways to positively work with big emotions. It was also good to spend time together with our child & create a space to do things together. Joanne, parent, Blackburn January )
I have spoken to many people over the years and I have done a parenting course and I have learnt more from this programme than the others put together. I am a guardian with 3 children on SGO’s. I have been fighting for over 3 years for help. I TRULY WISH I HAD DONE THIS COURSE 4 years ago. It has been marvellous. So informative. It gives confidence and you spend quality time with the children which is what we need. Cynthia (grandparent. May 2023)
9 Week Body, Mind. Future – Adult Programme
I really enjoyed the sessions and looked forward to Carol and Maria’s visits each week. The sessions have taught me to take care of myself more, understand my nutritional needs and to try new foods, also to check my body for any changes. Following the sessions I can now work to achieve the things i want with determination and positivity and be more confident and believe in myself . Feedback score 28/30 Megan September 2022
I loved the cre8ability sessions, it was the favourite part of my week. I felt comfortable in the sessions and enjoyed making so many different crafts. I can now relax more and be calm and positive. I now know more about what I want in my future and will focus more on family time. Feedback score 30/30 Carla September 2022
I have learnt that it’s important to get regular (health) checkups. Feedback score 30/30 Terry March 2023
