The new Children’s Commissioner for England, Rachel de Souza has written to say  “My job is to speak up for children in England, stand up for their rights, and make sure that the people in power listen to what children need and want.

It’s time to give something big back to young people like you after COVID — and we need your help to do it.

This is the largest ever survey of children and young people in England. We’ll use what you tell us to show the government what you think, and what children need to live happier lives.

This survey will only take you 5-10 minutes.”

Please encourage all children in your schools to take park in The Big Ask Campaign and complete the survey found at the link below

The Big Ask is a survey for children and young people aged 4–17 in England. We’ve split the survey into different age groups, so you can fill in a version appropriate for your age. We’ve also made easy-read ‘accessible’ versions as well as a version for care leavers.

We won’t ask for your name, phone number or email, and we’ll keep what you tell us safe and private – it won’t be shared with anyone else. You don’t have to answer any question if you don’t want to.

As you know, throughout the pandemic, we have maintained a community foodbank providing much needed food parcels and welfare bundles for some of our most vulnerable families.

We are very honoured to have received a Mayor’s Award for valuable contribution within the borough’s community response to COVID-19.

 The staff team worked incredibly hard to make this happen.  Thank you to all of you who helped us by contributing via our donation station.

We continue to provide support for our families, working closely with the Legendary Community Club and our donation station remains open for any contributions you may be able to provide.  Together we can make a real difference to families in need.

There is still time for you to complete the skills survey for the Friends of Torridon PTA.

We have a wonderful parent & carer community with a wide spectrum of skills and we are keen to capture this information and provide parents with opportunities to participate.

We are asking all parents & carers if they could complete this quick survey so we can update our database of parents & carers skills.
