Weekly social activities; Tuesday afternoons, 1-3pm during term times.
Are you a parent who’s home-educating your child or children? Would you like to engage them in social activities with other home-ed kids? We have it covered with our new Hain Home-Ed Hub!
The Hain Home-Ed Hub will meet every Tuesday afternoon at the Edward Hain Centre during term times between 1 and 3pm. Specific activities will be planned every week. These include: arts & crafts, board games, computer classes (taught by our regular IT course instructor, Chris Bevington), and cookery. The cookery class will round off with an end-of-session community meal in collaboration with the St Ives Foodbank in our lovely newly-renovated kitchens!
The Hub is open to all home-educated children and their homeschooling parent(s). Attendance is free. Come as and when you and your child(ren) choose, for the activities that interest them – either every week, or just one or two per month.
How it works
These are ‘stay and play’ sessions, so although the social activities are volunteer led, parents must stay with their kids. They will, however, be able to enjoy their own social time with the other parents over a cuppa and a chat.
The Hain Home-Ed Hub – named by the parents who conceived of the idea and will run it – is an exciting new venture for us. If it’s a fit for you and your family, we’d love to see you! For further details or to be added to our list, please contact Claire at community.volunteering@edwardhaincentre.org
