What you think of childcare in H&F?

Welcome to our biggest ever consultation on childcare in Hammersmith & Fulham. We want to hear from everyone using childcare for under 12s in H&F. As well as having your say, you’ll be entered into a draw to win a £500 John Lewis voucher. What’s more the five runners-up will each win a £100 voucher. People tell us they love our 16 children’s centres and the many fantastic projects run by schools, charities and private organisations but we know more can be done.

What do you think? What would you like to see more of? What would you like to see less of? Do you get what you need when you need it? Are services and activities close enough? This is your chance to tell us. Join our Big Childcare Conversation. It will only take a few moments and then you’ll be in the running to win that £500 John Lewis voucher. The childcare consultation is for parents and guardians of children aged 11 and under and people will be entered into a draw to win a £500 John Lewis voucher.

Deadline: 18th December

Sessional Worker Bank -Grenfell Tower

Following the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower, extra funding for Children and Young People’s organisations has been made available through a coalition of funders.

This coalition is being led by John Lyon’s Charity, a local funder, who has an expertise in working with groups based in Kensington & Chelsea as well as a dedicated focus on children and young people.

With the sudden increase of need in K&C, the funder coalition is working to support the responding organisations to ensure they have the appropriate resources they need to do their work.  This increase in delivery could easily create a capacity issue for organisations that use sessional staff to deliver their activities.  To try to ensure that there are enough qualified sessional workers available, John Lyon’s Charity is building a Sessional Youth Worker Bank to ease the pressure of recruitment on local organisations.

We would like you to complete the following questionnaire to add your details to the Sessional Youth Worker Bank.  All information will be held centrally by John Lyon’s Charity and not be shared with third parties. If a project needs extra staff capacity they will have to speak to the Charity in order to access The Bank. You will then be contacted by the JLC Team before your personal contact details are passed on.

Please note that you will only be contacted if your skills are needed.

Do cascade this questionnaire to any Youth and Community Workers you think may be interested.
