How it works

Referring for Fun Days & Events

The same clear route whether you're a parent, a school or a commissioning team.

  1. 01

    Enquiry

    Same working day

    A parent, school, hub or commissioner tells us who needs support. Emergency and crisis requests are triaged immediately.

  2. 02

    Conversation & triage

    Within one working day

    A practitioner calls to understand need, risk, existing plans and what has already been tried. We say honestly whether we're the right fit.

  3. 03

    Plan & start

    Typically within a week

    We agree outcomes, frequency, named workers and safeguarding arrangements, then begin delivery with paperwork in place.

  4. 04

    Review & outcomes

    At agreed intervals

    We measure progress against the agreed outcomes, report in writing and attend reviews or multi-agency meetings as required.

What families say

“My 3 boys go to youth club and have the best time, the staff are lovely and friendly and always make my boys laugh. Also during half term they do amazing day trips and have fun activities planned.”
