Reconnecting children and young people with health and wellbeing

One of the priorities for the Reconnect programme was to help children and young people to be happier, and encourage them to engage in sport and physical activity.

Projects we funded

Reconnect funded a series of projects to support this priority, some of which are showcased below.

Discounted leisure passes

Reconnect teamed up with leisure centres throughout Kent to make leisure passes affordable for children on free school meals.
Support for bereaved families

Reconnect supported a programme of activities and events that families and children could attend to support their emotional wellbeing following the loss of a sibling.
Social activities for the LGBTQ+ community

The BeYou Project created a series of events to give LGBTQ+ young people in Kent a safe, non-judgemental space to meet, have fun and help each other.
Mental health resources for primary schools

Reconnect part funded the recording of the Fantastic FRED Experience to promote good mental health to primary aged children.
