Warning: This reel may have overrepresented the social media side of the role just a tad 📸🎥😂

You'll also be welcoming and supporting local families, setting up activities, going on outreach and being part of a brilliant team.

(But let's be honest, the content creation bit is pretty fun.) 😉

If that sounds like your kind of thing, apply for our Hub Support Assistant vacancies before applications close on 31 August!

✨ Creatively capturing community life included.

Behind the Scenes: The Real PEEP Experience… 😂🎬

Putting together our PEEP Learning Together sessions is serious business… or at least, it starts that way! 😅

Between forgotten lines, unexpected giggles, and those “wait… what was I supposed to say again?” moments, let’s just say there were a few bloopers along the way. But hey, we survived the outtakes — and if we can handle that, we can handle a room full of energetic little ones! 🙌

Want to see what all the fun is about? 👀

Join us for our interactive PEEP Learning Together Taster Session on 7th September and bring your little one along to play, sing, explore and (hopefully!) have fewer bloopers than we did. 😄

Loved it? You can then join us on the 6-week course Learning Together Programme starting 14th September, where parents and children can play, sing, tell stories and learn together.

Want to join us? Drop us a message on Facebook or Instagram or give us a call to book your space!

And don’t worry… you don’t need to know your lines. We clearly didn’t either! 😂
