PGL Residential Breaks

a short break holiday, it’s more than thaT?

We run up to three residential weekends each year using PGL activity centres. These are more than a few days holiday though. They help create confidence, resilience and a positive attitude by taking the children through a series of activities and experiences. These activities take the children out of their comfort zone and make them face their phobias. The child that emerges from the weekend is confident, proud and growing in resilience.

There are three aims of the PGL trips;

• the first is to build the children’s self-esteem and confidence.

• The second aim is to create positive childhood memories.

• The third aim is for the social workers to be able to build a stronger relationship with the children, by sharing in the activities and helping each other survive the death-defying activities the team from PGL creates.
