The past month in the Family Support Service, our families enjoyed arts and creative sessions at Forgan Arts Centre before the end of the holidays! Thanks so much for the staff for providing these sessions - we look forward to returning in October ☺️

Alexis has also been busy planning for the upcoming term with our regular groups restarting, and starting a new Chronic Pain and Wellbeing Course with Pain Association for our families. August has also seen 1:1 support, focusing on reviews, to ensure that families are at the heart of our support!

Fun in the sun this month with the Family Support Service!

Alongside parent meet ups and children's activities, the families also enjoyed a Family Day at Craigtoun Park this month. This was a brilliant day out thanks to the support of The Rotary Club of St Andrews and Rotary Club of Kilrymont St Andrews. Our families enjoyed a magic show, snacks and icecream and all the attractions the park has to offer 😀

In the past couple weeks of holiday activities, the team have enjoyed more fab weather along with crafts and sports with Marianne from Youth 1st! It's great to get out and about in the local community during the holiday activity sessions 🫶

We can't believe the last week of Holiday Activities will be underway on Monday!
