The programme will bring enjoyment through socialising with young people diverse backgrounds within Newham, as they will have creative and interactive activities to break ice and have discussion with others. This will work towards strong, resilient and safe communities as the programme will empower young people by developing their personal skills and character to inspire them to engage in purposeful activities, gain confidence and better themselves under a safe environment.

On a daily basis, we will spend 15 minutes time on nutritional education where our young people will be conversed into various topics on nutrition to create better health eating and enable them to incorporate it better in their lifestyle once winter programme is completed. On the end of each week ending, parents and guardians will be given advice and guidelines on how to identify, recognize and source nutritious good on low cost budget. Brief Training will be given once a week in groups during drop-offs and pick-ups to educate parents on recognizing the nutritional values and what elements to reduce intake as a family. This will create a greater understanding on why eating well leads to better health. They will be provided leaflets on Nutrition. The project will contribute to local cohesion among diverse communities, especially for young people who can take full part in safe and positive environment and stay away from negative and harmful environment.

The winter programme will end with a celebration day for the young people to celebrate their achievement for a end of year party.

A 6-day rota will be provided to parents in advance to give them a clear insight of all the activities to take place in the winter programme.
