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.
For all of our activities, places must be booked in advanced using the form below and are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
If your child would benefit from more intensive wellbeing support, please take a look at our Wellbeing and Resilience Action Plans.
