We are encouraging any Renew centre that has been open for a year as a weekly space to consider opening a second session monthly, fortnightly or weekly. It is very much like any Renew space and runs on the same three principles.
This would be open to children and their parents and would be particularly set up to suit all age activities. These activities can be varied and calm too though.
This can be simplified and an example is given in the prayer and meditation section of the resources
This would need to include other agencies like schools, children’s mental health services etc.
Safeguarding would need to be really clear but we believe it needs to be clear and strong anyway to do a safe Renew space. You would particularly need to stress that parents are responsible for their own children. Values would need to be re written for this session. Any “Renew Wellbeing for families” sessions need to sign up separately to the main Renew space with the area coordinator. Some Renew Wellbeing spaces are aimed at both adults and families. These can be labelled with both logos. Please make sure you have registered your Renew Wellbeing for families space with us before starting.
You might consider having a theme word each time on one table to give it some structure if needed by using the A-Z of Wellbeing for children as a guide.
