YPC began their journey with F4YP finding it hard to make new friends and maintain relationships. F4YP began attending regular CIN meetings for YPC. Through these meetings it became apparent YPC struggled to regulate their emotions and behaviours and that they would benefit from our therapeutic support and attending our after-school clubs. YPC continued to attend our sports after school club and signed up for our holiday club. F4YP visited YPC at school prior to YPC’s first h

In 2019 we moved again, here to Bedford (Kempston) And me and my brother were a bit more confident with the language and my mum wanted to get us to go to a club, specifically a sports one.

YPA was placed in care alongside their younger sibling. When YPA started at F4YP they started off very shy and struggled with their speech. YPA’s foster carer already knew of Fun 4 Young People (F4YP) and wanted them to attend our holiday clubs. The first club they came to was summer 2020, they were extremely quiet and lacked confidence in reading and other sessions but always showed others kindness.

YPB first attended F4YP in Easter 2023. They had tried other holiday clubs but unfortunately, due to their needs, this had not been an enjoyable experience. YPB initially attended our school specific holiday club and had a lovely time. They have since participated in Autumn and Spring after school clubs, have attended our February Half term club and is signing up for Easter and summer term activities. Having received YPB EHCP, our pastoral team created a support plan for them
