Small Grants Available to Primary Schools to Provide LifeSkills Open Sessions for Parents and Carers
Wednesday 29th November 2023
LifeSkills Open uses a coaching–based approach, in which adults are supported to focus on their strengths and needs in regards to financial skills, work-readiness and social confidence. It aims to empower people to face new challenges and move forward in their life goals. This programme will offer adults the chance to come together to a trusted venue such as their children’s school and set goals towards improving their skills using a strengths-based approach.
Participating schools can receive £100 per session to support with the running of the session – e.g., through enhancing provision, buying resources, incentives, payment of staff to run sessions.
LifeSkills is run in small groups of no more than 12 in a set of 4 to 12 sessions.
School staff can attend a two-hour training course run by Family Action on how to deliver the modules.
The sessions cover over 30 modules including;
- Overcoming setbacks
- Managing debts
- Saving money
- CV writing skills and interview techniques
Emily Phelps-Jones will be running a webinar for schools in Wiltshire and Swindon on Monday 22 January 2024 from 4-4.45pm.
