Welcome to the West Somerset Family

Activity Calendar Summer 2018

Here you can find lots of FREE* activities for families

and young people running during the summer holidays

Home Start West Somerset works with and alongside families with young children who are experiencing problems which affect their well-being as a family. We offer regular support,

friendship, and practical help to families in their own homes.

Bump-Start is a programme supporting families right through pregnancy, the birth experience and the first year of their baby’s life, the programme aims to empower young

families to give their child the best possible start in life.

Jump-Start is a friendly and informal parent-lead support group who meet once a month. Here you can meet with other families of children with special educational needs and/or

disabilities. Our monthly meetings give parent a chance to share information gain practical and emotional support.

School-Start recognises the importance of family background and home environment on a child’s readiness for school and learning. We help prepare

parents/carers and their children to engage with their children's learning.

Story-Start are small informal groups supporting parents and their young children to play, communicate and interact together using a “book club” Parents meet

regularly, resources are provided, and fun time is encouraged.

Stay in the shade

Create a shady area/den

in the garden using an

old sheet or blanket,

chairs and some pegs for

young children/babies to

play in whilst outside

Apply Suncream

Buy a suncream that has a

SPF of at least 15 and

protects against UVA & UVB

rays

Reapply regularly throughout

the day, especially after your

child has been swimming or

playing in water and don’t forget to put it

on their ears and neck too!

Cover Up

Make sure children wear a hat that

covers their head and neck and a top

that covers their shoulders as these

areas are most likely to burn

Don’t Leave Anyone in the Car

The inside of the car can heat up pretty quickly

even with the windows

partially open so it’s best to

avoid leaving anyone in

there, even if it is just for a

short amount of time

Stay Hydrated

Make sure you and your children drink

plenty of water throughout the day to

prevent de-hydration

West Somerset Essential Life Skills Grants

Grants to improve activities for young people in West Somerset

New grant schemes have been launched to help children and young people in West Somerset get involved in extra-curricular activities to help improve their confidence, health and wellbeing.

Individuals and groups can apply for Essential Life Skills grants to improve access to activities like sports, performance and creative arts, music, physical recreation and youth provision. Young

people can apply for a £350 grant to cover the cost of their chosen weekly activity for a year, and groups can apply for up to £5,000 to either develop new activities or expand existing ones. Groups

including schools, voluntary organisations and activity providers can apply.

Individual grant applications need the backing of a responsible adult such as a teacher or youth worker and applications can be made at any time. Grant applications for groups will be assessed

quarterly throughout the year.

Councillor Frances Nicholson, Cabinet Member for Children and Families at Somerset County Council, said: “Evidence shows that these sorts of activities boost young people’s social skills and

emotional wellbeing, and this in turn helps them develop the skills to achieve their potential.

“This is a great opportunity and I hope groups and individuals across the area will seize it with both hands.” More information on the grants, funding deadlines and application forms are available from

the Youth Funding pages of the Somerset Youth website. Anyone who has questions about the grant programme should contact SCC’s Youth & Community Service.
