Easter events
Last week, we mentioned this guide from Child Friendly Leeds to help children and families in Leeds navigate their way through the Easter holidays. You might also want to check out another guide from Active Leeds – anyone up for some paddlesports?!
National Youth Strategy
The government is creating a new ten-year National Youth Strategy to tackle the challenges for this generation of young people and to ensure every young person can thrive. The strategy aims to bring power back to young people and their communities to improve youth focused services.
The government wants to hear the views of children and young people aged 10 to 21 (and up to age 25 with special educational needs or disabilities).
Encourage your child to complete the survey to share with the government what they think on a range of themes.
If they don’t have time to complete the survey, then encourage them to share their quick thoughts with the government on what could be improved.
Need some help?
Sometimes people need a bit of help from time to time. Wetherby and District Foodbank might be able to help you.
Check out the information below to find out more about when they’re open, how to use them, and the areas they cover. There’s also information about MoneyBuddies, the biggest independent money advice service in West Yorkshire.
Over Easter, there are activities for children whilst parents and carers can share concerns and get confidential advice. There’ll be Easter Eggs, too!
Have a happy and healthy holiday. We’ll see you again on Tuesday 22 April.
