DAT for Families
We know that our communities have been facing a tough time, so we stepped in to entertain and support them with our DAT for Families programme. This programme is based around a series of free events that invite our families into the academies. Events have included Family Fun Days, a World Cup Football day and a Christmas panto.
As part of these events we have been offering free food, food parcels and clothing, fun activities for children and a wide range of advice and guidance services covering areas such as finances, housing and parenting. A list of local organisations that can help local families is provided below, and we hope that you find this useful.
Dudley Academies Trust is here for our learners and their families all the year round, and we are committed to continuing with these events whenever there is an opportunity to bring our families into the academies.
