Over the Autumn, parents took part in 7 sessions of Wellbeing Group, where they explored factors that affect their mental and physical health and how to improve them. They then planned activities around these factors, based on interests and areas that they were concerned about.

The Bump Start team were very pleased to welcome Maree Todd Minister for Social Care, Mental Wellbeing and Sport along the Pregnancy and Baby Café on the 21st November.

Please take a look at our new ‘What’s On’ this term. We would love to welcome you along!

Throughout summer we supported 110 children and 75 parents to access our weekly activities with outings to local green spaces, the National Galleries, East Links and the Fringe. Across the 15 different trips we supported children of all ages, with an emphasis on including children under 5 so that families could access a holistic provision during the school holidays.

We have some changes to our group work programme this term!

BWell Together has been running for just over a year now, with our Family wellbeing Practitioners, Abi and Aimee supporting 33 children and their families during that time. BWell Together is made up of a range of partners include Circle, Granton Youth, Intercultural Youth Scotland, Muirhouse Youth Development Project, Pilton Youth and Children’s Project and Wester Hailes Youth Agency.

Baby Steps is one of our newer groups, read on to find out how the group came to be set up and what the families have thought about it.

Seasons for Growth is a programme which helps children and young people understand the experience of change, loss and grief and how these can impact a person’s life. Mubarra completed her Seasons for Growth training in September 2022 and is coming to the end of delivering her first Season for Growth group in Pirniehall Primary School in partnership with Ferrywell Youth Project.

These are the groups we are running this term, if you would like to try one of the groups you can drop us an email, contact us via social media or call the office on 0131 551 1632.
