Proposed budget
Description
As a resident and teacher in East Ham, I am applying to deliver a community project at Lathom School that will enhance learning, well-being, and family engagement. The project will provide a series of activities designed to bring families together, improve health, and open opportunities for children and parents to learn new skills.
The programme will include Family Fitness Sessions with trained coaches, Parent Wellbeing Workshops led by mental health professionals, and Outdoor Adventure Trips to give children experiences beyond the borough. A Community Family Event will celebrate achievements and bring people together, while Educational and Cultural Workshops will expand children’s horizons in history, literature, and the arts.
The project is designed to remove financial and social barriers faced by many families in Newham, offering subsidised activities that build confidence, resilience, and community spirit. Parents and carers will also be encouraged to get involved in delivery, helping to strengthen local ties and create a lasting impact.
By investing in families, wellbeing, and learning, this project will leave a positive legacy at Lathom School and in the wider East Ham community.
