Holiday workshops

During the school holidays, our team organise a range of fun activities across the region for young people aged 9 to 18. These are a great way to overcome isolation, meet like minded people, learn something new, have fun, build confidence and ultimately improve wellbeing.

Depending on the activity, sessions are held at our Maidstone Wellbeing Centre or at leisure centres, local halls or community centres across the region. We endeavour to choose venues which can be easily accessed by public transport. We arrange activities for a wide range of hobbies and interests including chess, water sports and calligraphy.  Our own Wellbeing Coaches are available throughout to provide any additional mental health signposting and identify further support.

In conjunction with Brenda Burgess Arts, we will be offering a nature inspired Clay Workshop at our Maidstone Wellbeing Centre on Monday 28th October. The session is open for young people aged 9 to 18 and all materials will be provided. Parents are not required to stay on site for this activity.

This session is open for young people aged 7 to 13. Please note parents/carers are required to stay with their child for the duration.
