The hotter temperatures can add to feelings of overwhelm.

We wanted to give you some simple reminders - take whichever you need and add another in the comments for other parents 💜

Yesterday, families supported by **Home-Start North West Kent** enjoyed a wonderful day trip to **Joss Bay**, travelling by coach with our amazing staff and volunteers. 🤗☀️

It was a fantastic day, made even more special for some of the children who were seeing the sea for the very first time! 🥰🌊

A huge **THANK YOU to Dartford Borough Council, Dartford Lions Club and North West Kent Oddfellows** for helping to make this wonderful trip possible. Your support is very much appreciated. 💛 xx
