Summer Ollee-day Pack

9th July 2021 By rgregg

The summer holidays are just around the corner, and children will be looking forward to some well-deserved time off! However, holidays can bring with them their own challenges for children – from fears that they’re missing out on fun with their friends, to worries about starting a new school in September.

Ollee, a virtual friend developed by Parent Zone and funded by BBC Children in Need’s A Million & Me, is designed to help parents and children talk about difficult topics, and empower parents to give their children the support they need.
