By the Open Arms Community Enagement Team
Over the February half term, a variety of events was organised. These were aimed at families and were free to attend. The took place at Open Arms sessions, so while they were there staff could speak to them about the project and the support they could access.
Bookings were done in advance, with the information shared through various channels. Most of the events were fully booked, with people coming to one or more of the activities. The average attendance for the large venues was 60 and 30 for the smaller ones. Over the week we welcomed 112 adults and 161 children to the events.
We saw lots of new people attend the sessions and had great feedback from them too.
