Fabulous Fayre for Children and Families
Children’s mental wellbeing and physical health is the focus of a free fayre at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre on Sunday, February 4, as part of Children’s Mental Health Week.
The Children’s Health and Wellbeing Fayre, organised by Lincs Inspire, sees a host of organisations from North East Lincolnshire join forces to shine a light on the support available locally for children and their families.
Everyone Welcome
Organiser, Jess Briggs, customer service supervisor at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre, hopes the fayre will benefit many people. “We had over a thousand visitors to our first fayre last year, so we’re looking to opening our doors once again to those agencies and organisations locally who provide support to children and families,” said Jess.
“Having everyone together in one room means that families and children, who may not know where to turn for help, will be able to gather information, find support and have fun at the same time.”
