October Half Term Activities
There’s lots to do across Hertfordshire this month and with the October half term just around the corner. Below are some good links to share with parents:-
Firstly, we’ve updated our fifty thrifty list to give it an autumnal twist. Visit Fifty Thrifty Autumn Adventures 2024 | Hertfordshire County Council
APEX
The October HIGH FIVE Camps which are now live and available to book! Eligible parents will need to get a booking code from their schools and then head to https://apex360.co.uk/highfive to secure their place(s). These camps were previously part of the Fit, Fed and Read Holiday Programme. Apex have since taken over the running of these camps now known as High Five – same great venues, staff and activities!
During our High Five Camps, children and young people experience the perfect blend of activities to keep them active and entertained during the holidays. Our camps provide high-quality sport, entertaining enrichment activities, as well as a nutritious hot meal.
Funded by the Opening School Facilities programme, our camps run every school holiday period.

FREE Face your Fears Workshop at the Herts Haven Cafe - Stevenage (Herts Mind Network)
Finding productive and fun ways to support your wellbeing can be difficult, particularly for the young people we may support or work with - here at the Herts Haven Cafe, we want to help!
Throughout the HALF TERM WEEK in OCTOBER, we will be holding 'FACE YOUR FEARS' workshops at our Hemel, Stevenage and Watford locations, to provide a safe and nurturing space for young people to talk about their fears and gain some invaluable tools to manage those fears, all in the spirit of Halloween. Attendees will also be able to make their own scary creation!
Open to young people aged between 10-18 years old, please can you share this with your students, young people you may support or know and any other pathway you feel would create the greatest reach - please see the visual attached to this email which can be used. For further information on our Herts Haven Cafe's (run by Herts Mind Network) please visit our website: Herts Haven Cafés - WithYouth
