Give Kids a Chance moving to CHILDREN 1ST

Give Kids a Chance is a popular, Grampian-wide project which is currently hosted and managed by the Aberdeen City Public Health Team. The new move follows an extensive review, a consultation and an investigation of options to join the voluntary sector.

 

Kathy Henwood, Assistant Director of Children and Family Services (North) for CHILDREN ^1ST, said: "It's really important to give children and young people the right support at the right time. At CHILDREN ^1ST we know that sport, leisure and musical activities give children and young people the opportunity to learn new skills, gain confidence, make friends and have fun.

 

"Through Give Kids a Chance, we are keen to give children and young people chances to have fun, and build friendships and confidence which will last them long into adulthood."

 

Heather Wilson, Give Kids a Chance Project Manager, said: "This move will establish CHILDREN ^1ST as a leading provider of early intervention services and enable Give Kids a Chance to continue supporting young people.  This move has been necessary to try to safeguard the long term sustainability of Give Kids a Chance and provide young people in Grampian with the best possible service.  Now the project has a new host it is time to raise the profile, celebrate the good work done to date and work in partnership to ensure a smooth handover."
