Why it was needed

Nottingham Trent Uiversity students organised a Halloween party for thirteen children, aged between 7 and 11 years old. These children help care for their disadvantaged parents on a daily basis and the purpose for organising this party was to give something back to children for all of their hard work at such a young age. The group involved in caring for the children is called the action for young carer’s federation.

What's being done

As this was a Halloween party, both the student volunteers and the children were in fancy dress. The students organised games such as musical chairs, rolling pumpkins relay and pin the wart on the witch and face painting friends which the children thoroughly enjoyed.

How it started

At Nottingham Trent University we have a commitee of students who come up with ideas and plan one day projects. We already have a good relationship with the action for young carer's federation so were keen to put on a party on for them. The commitee members arranged what games to play, went shopping for food and halloween fun stuff and played with the kids on the day.
