Last week at Parents’ Evening, we were joined by representatives from the charity ‘Megan’s Space’ and East Ayrshire whole family wellbeing fund service, ‘Grow Together’. We look forward to working with both services to support children and families. Look out for Parent Information sessions in term four!
Megan’s Space
Megan’s Space provides essential support, advocacy and therapeutic services to young people who are unable to access the help they need through traditional routes whether due to cost, access or perceived taboo.
‘Grow Together’
Grow Together is a free, family focussed service in East Ayrshire, designed to support children, young people and families who may need extra help, even if they are not in crisis. The service emphasises listening, understanding and providing practical support without judgement or pressure, helping families grow stronger together.
Services Offered:
- Emotional Support: Providing a safe space for children and young people to talk about
- challenges at home, school, or in general.
- Practical Assistance: Helping with forms, appointments, referrals and connecting families to the right local services.
- Skill Building and Activities: Supporting children and young people to develop new skills, try new activities, and engage in positive experiences.
- Family Support: Guidance and assistance for the whole family, ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard and respected.
- Participation is voluntary, and families can choose the level of involvement that suits them.
Grow Together is not about blame or punishment; it focuses on empowering families to find solutions at their own pace.
