SUMMARY:Sailing Social for supported young people
DESCRIPTION:This event is for supported young people aged 10 upwards. \nFrensham Sailability say: \n“Our sailors frequently comment that\, when sailing\, they are freed from their limitations and can compete on equal terms with any able-bodied sailor. We help you do this by providing a range of specially designed boats and the necessary support facilities. With the help of our experienced volunteers\, you can learn to sail\, or enjoy sailing again\, and develop your skills as far as you wish – to international competition level if you want!” \nNo previous experience of sailing is necessary\, but the use of hands is required. \nNew sailors can go out with an experienced ‘buddy’ who will explain what sailing involves. However\, our mission is to encourage independent sailing as much as possible. Frensham Pond provides a uniquely safe environment for this. \nThis is an opportunity for your children to experience sailing and the freedom of being in control of their boat. They will have the opportunity to go out on a 1-1 smaller boat with an experienced volunteer and in a bigger group boat if their mobility allows.” \nAll safety equipment and wet weather gear is provided\, along with access to the clubhouse where parents and carers are welcome to stay for the duration or can spectate from dry land. Please know that this event requires parents and caregivers to remain on site at all times\, and they are responsible for the care of the young people at all times \nPlease bring along a packed lunch and any medical equipment (we will provide cake and snacks)\, a change of clothes and a towel (good old British weather may mean we sail in the rain). \nThis opportunity is suitable for young people aged 10 and over who would enjoy socialising with others.

SUMMARY:Siblings' Base Camp
DESCRIPTION:Runs Monday 11 August – Wednesday 13 August\nBooking for Base Camp will close at 5pm on Friday 25 July \nThis August we are excited to be offering our very first Siblings’ Base Camp. This 3-day creative experience is a chance for bereaved siblings to form their very own music band and create music as a way to process grief. \nSupported by our creative and music therapists\, they will be writing and recording their own songs to process the difficult experiences that come with loss and grief\, in a safe\, fun and caring environment. Being able to get to know and share with each other can help bereaved siblings feel less alone. \nIf you are the parent or carer of a bereaved child or young person aged between 5-17 years old who may benefit from attending\, please click Enquire to register your interest and a children’s therapist will be in touch to help you decide if this group is suitable. \nPlease note it is important that everyone can attend all 3 days for this event so they can have the full experience. Transport can be provided.

Scouting is an all-inclusive youth group that welcomes young people of all abilities. Our Scout Group is affiliated with the 9th Guildford Scout Group. \nScouting is accessible to all and focuses on making reasonable adjustments to activities\, badges\, and awards to ensure everyone can participate and thrive. This includes working with parents and carers to understand individual needs and provide appropriate support. At Scouts\, we’re open to all. Our main priority is to make sure that everyone\, be that our young people or our volunteers\, feels welcome and comfortable to take part. \nParents/carers will need to stay with their young people for the session\, and drinks and biscuits will be provided. \nThe first group meeting will be information sharing and taking order details for your Scout uniform items (at no cost to families). We will then share the rest of the meeting dates with you\, term time only. We can’t wait to launch this special group with the families of Shooting Star.
