We as a Parent Council feel that since lockdown during the pandemic that  its more important now than ever that children get to socialise and mix with other children and parties are the perfect opportunity for them to do this, as this ensures that the children and young people to have the opportunity to lead a healthy and active life. We would get the children involved within the planning of the parties so that they're voices are being heard and what their preferences are. the money we are applying for would be spent on as follows:

• Hall to hold the parties and events - £90 x3
• Decorations  because a party isn't complete without decorations - £310
• Entertainment - £200
• Catering - £70 x3

With the cost of living crisis people aren't able to have parties or children aren't able to attend parties with the lack of funds within families so if we are able to take the stress away for some parents and support the mental well being of the children in the community then we would love to do so.  Our aim is to have a Valentines party for the children in February, Easter party in April and then a halloween party in October next year.
