SNAP (Safety Net Assertiveness Programme) Groups are funded by Children In Need and are open to any children aged 8-11 who live in Brighton and Hove. The group uses a variety of activities and games to teach some basic assertiveness skills to children who may have been bullied in the past or who have low self-esteem. SNAP Groups provide a range of life-skills to children and assist in putting them into practice through role-play and self-defence moves, adding to their problem-solving methods and helping them to keep themselves safe in the community or at school.

SNAP Groups will be held over the summer holidays on the following dates:

• Thursday August 5th
• Thursday August 12th
• Friday August 13th
• Thursday August 19th
