<p>Throughout lockdowns&nbsp;we have saw an increase in children becoming more comfortable sitting with devices than embracing all things outdoors. We know the huge benefits outdoor learning and play has on their&nbsp;mental health and well-being and introducing this as early as possible is crucial.&nbsp;Following periods of lockdowns we found many of our children struggle to interact&nbsp;and socialise, through outdoor learning/play we have reaped the benefits of not only these barriers reducing but through this they are being shown how the outdoors is benefitting them&nbsp;physically as well as mentally,&nbsp;often giving teachers the opportunty to have informal chats around healthy eating and its importance to them as they grow.&nbsp;&nbsp;Following consultation with our young people, through the pupil focus group, they have asked if they could have some more resources for them to enjoy and learn outdoors with.&nbsp;&nbsp;Following this the parent council&nbsp;purchased some of the &quot;Operation Play Outdoors&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;den building packages. These have had such amazing feedback from all year groups, however in order to provide more outdoor resources we must&nbsp;provide somewhere safe to store future purchases.&nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;</p>

<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We are a girl-guiding unit for girls aged 14-18. The group currently consists of nine girls who have been dedicated to girl guiding since they were 5 years old. The girls follow a programme of skill-builder badges in themes such as camping, communication and first aid. Our programme of interest badges, skill builders and awards support these young women to try new things, travel the world and develop skills across our six themes. Many of the girls are young leaders for local rainbows and brownies and are working on building their CVs for their future careers. Rangers is about taking the lead and finding new challenges.&nbsp;It can be seen as a rare sight to see young people engaged in helping their community and we wish to continue seeking opportunities to help the girls grow. This group of girls have excelled as role models to the young girl-guiding community from helping with trips to inspiring them to be themselves. The girls have been allowed to advocate for the issues in the world around them and educate future generations. This is only possible with funding to develop these ambitious and driven&nbsp;young women. </span></span></p>

Barnardo's Christmas Outing

No comments Fiona Irvine

<p>Barnardo&#39;s works with young people across North Ayrshire in a variety of services. We would like to take the young people to a Pantomime this Christmas as their Christmas activity. We did this last year with non-recurring funding so this year we are looking for support as the young people that attended last year had such a good time, they got out the house, socialised and made new friends, and had a laugh. We will take the young people for dinner before the Panto and make them up a snack bag for the show. This activity will help young people with their mential health and wellbeing and social isolation. Dates for this years Pantomime are from 1st December to 7th January.&nbsp;</p>
