FAMILY Project

More time to connect.

Join us for 8 weeks of playing together, learning together, and eating healthily together in a relaxed and friendly group for local families. It’s time to connect, try new things, and enjoy time together after school.

What families told us

A family spending time together at the Family Project
A change from routine

Especially during the winter, it was nice to get out of the house, meet new people and spend time without iPads and TVs, while learning new things.

Protected family time

Spending more time and putting my phone down more and being in the moment.

Activities for different ages

There were activities for all ages. I was able to spend more one-to-one time with my son while my younger daughter played.

Ideas to take home

I make the same way I learned here making playdough at home and learn how play with dice.

Confidence at every age

My daughter’s only 2 but has gained a lot more confidence in communication.

Support

The volunteers at St Matt’s have backgrounds in working with children, which makes it easier to talk about certain obstacles that we have been facing as a family.
