Big Norfolk Holiday Fun
The Big Norfolk Holiday Fun (BNHF) programme provides holiday activities for children and young people aged 4 -16 in Norfolk. Children eligible for benefits-related free school meals can claim free spaces for activities. Paid places are also available for many activities for those families who don't meet the free place criteria. The programme is a fantastic way to encourage children and young people to try new things whilst keeping their brains and bodies stimulated over the school holidays. All children taking part will also receive a nutritious free meal as part of the offer.

Early Help Assessment and Plan
Sometimes you might need extra support to help things improve.
This might mean bringing family, friends and workers together to have a meeting and create an early help assessment.
An early help assessment looks at what is working well for your family and what is not working so well.
