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
in West Somerset and the surrounding areas.
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.
