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.

Upcoming activities

Forest School. In conjunction with Wild Times Woodland Adventures we are offering an exciting opportunity for young people aged 9 to 13 to take part in a day of woodland based activities. Join us for a variety of fun, outdoor activities which encourage curiosity, independence and plenty of hands-on experience. Dress for the weather and bring a packed lunch. Please note, at least one parent per family is required to stay on site for this activity and we are unable to accommodate younger siblings.

Hove Court Wood, Bearsted

  • 7th April 10.30am to 2.30pm

Family Zumba. Our qualified fitness instructor will be leading a Zumba session suitable for the whole family. Zumba combines aerobic exercise with Latin dance music resulting in a fun and energetic workout. No experience is necessary to take part but please wear suitable clothes and footwear that you can move around in easily.

Young people aged 9-13 are welcome to join us and as this is a family session, at least one parent/carer per family is also required to take part. This is a great opportunity to have some fun as a family and build positive relationships. There is also the chance to stay afterwards to talk to our Wellbeing Team about any support you or your child may need.

Kingsnorth Primary School, Ashford 

  • 8th April 10am to 11.30am

For all of our activities, places must be booked in advanced and are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
