Our summer festival 2025

Our yearly festival returned this year with a brand new set of workshops, so families could dive into learning and development activities led by expert trainers, meet other families and have a great time from the comfort of home.

This summer children discovered the world of coding, had fun designing comic strips, doodle mindful drawings and even created music – we had plenty to keep families entertained.

Families could join all our workshops from any device: Android tablet, iPad, smartphone or PC. Each session was one hour long, with a qualified trainer leading it, and a Family Fund staff member to support.
