Families Here and Now Service Event

The FHANS group (Families Here and Now Service) are running an event next weekend (8th & 9th of March 2025) in Chryston Hub and in Motherwell.

The theme of this event is “Mothers day” and it is intended for families to join in and have fun! It is important to note that despite the theme being mothers day, the focus will be on making something for a person that means a lot to you!

This drop-in service will have lots of fun arts and crafts to do such as card making and colouring in for the children! There will also be plenty of snacks and drinks for both parents and children to enjoy.

Saturday (08/03/25): 12pm to 2pm, Chryston Community Hub conference room (Chryston Primary)

Sunday (09/03/2025): 12pm to 2pm, Barnardo’s Motherwell (58-60 Albert Street, Motherwell, ML1 1PR) next to the Health and Wellness Hub.

These drop-ins are free, and everyone is encouraged to come along, there will be FHANS workers there too, who will be there to help and assist anyone who needs help or support in the meantime. You do not need to be referred to FHANS to come along as this event is open to the community!

School Closures

Red weather warning for Storm Eowyn – Friday 24 January 2025 – School Closures

A Red weather warning has been issued for Friday 24 January 2025, between 10am and 5pm as Storm Éowyn is expected to bring very strong winds and widespread disruption.

The Council has taken the decision to close all schools and education establishments including early learning facilities on Friday 24 January.

We understand the impact this may have on parents and carers, however the safety of people is paramount. No school transport or breakfast clubs will run.

We will provide updates on the impact on other services through the normal Council social media channels and the website here: northlanarkshire.gov.uk/weather

As always, we would like to remind you that learning resources are available via NLC’s Virtual Classroom for P1-S3 pupils, and eSgoil and Scholar are available for senior phase pupils.
