The Emotional Health and Wellbeing Partnership (EHWP) is back! Last year we brought you Summer Activities 2020, our awesomely spooky Autumn Activities brochure and festive Doing December Differently packs. This year joining the line-up, our delightful Step into Spring brochure kick started 2021, and this summer we’re delighted to announce that we have joined up with the Time2Move programme to provide a variety of activities across Cornwall for young people and their families. Activities can range from football to kayaking and tennis to dance, wilderness walks and creative skills! There is absolutely something for everyone. To search and book activities just head here www.activecornwall.org/children-young-people-families/ t2m-holiday-programme
If you have been given a Free School Meal (FSM) Voucher code you can use that to book your free place. The EHWP recognise that some families in Cornwall that don’t meet the FSM threshold would still struggle to access these activities, therefore parents/carers or key workers can contact Headstart Kernow to discuss eligibility and get a unique EHWP code to book a place! [email protected] Back to contents Wild Summer 2021 / 13 Time 2 Move The summer holidays are looking brighter for children and young people in Cornwall thanks to an exciting partnership Cornwall Council and Active Cornwall have joined forces to deliver nutritious food alongside sport and physical activity, under the brand ‘Time2Move Holiday Programme’. The programme is open to all children and young people aged 5 to 16 but targets children eligible for Free School Meals and aims to tackle the triple inequality of poor diet, physical inactivity and social isolation. Now live all activities can be viewed through the following link where you will see over 50 providers offering activity across Cornwall.
