Shine Bright Wear Bright 2025
Children can come into school on Friday 7th February 2025 dressed in bright clothes for a £1.00 donation. All donations will go to CHUMS.
CHUMS Charity supports a number of local services in Bedfordshire and Luton, which rely wholly on charitable funds.
With the help of CHUMS Charity and the contribution of so many different supporters in the local community, £500,000 is required to fund those parts of the service that do not receive contractual funding. Those services are:
The Trauma Service – Bereavement and Non-Bereavement Trauma (sexual abuse and witness to domestic violence)
The Bedfordshire Suicide Bereavement Service (BSBS) – supporting families in the devastating aftermath of a suicide death
The Recreational Therapeutic Service supporting young people who can’t readily engage in 1:1 talking therapies, via football and music programmes
The Babyloss Bereavement Service – supporting families when a baby dies before, at or soon after birth
The Disability Friendship Scheme in Luton – offering a safe social space on a Friday evening to youngsters with learning and/or physical disabilities.
Children's Mental Health Week 03/02/2025 - 09/02/2025
This year’s Children’s Mental Health Week theme is Know Yourself, Grow Yourself. The more we can understand about ourselves, the more prepared we are to express our emotions and take on life’s ups and downs. Being self-aware means getting to know and understand what we are good at, what we find difficult, our likes and dislikes, what makes us feel JOY and what may cause us SADNESS. It is also about understanding what makes us unique and our fears, hopes and dreams. As we build a sense of self, we grow in our ability to connect with others, as well as develop our skills and talents. It is with this basis we can form strong and healthy relationships, from early childhood right through to adulthood and are equipped to cope with the challenges that life brings our way. During Place2Be’s Children’s Mental Health Week 2025, please join us in some activities to help us explore our different emotions and grow ourselves. There is something for everyone, and we hope you enjoy this journey of self-discovery! Click here for more information.
