Lap and Chat for Childline

This March, we are asking schools, clubs and creches nationwide to host a Lap and Chat. This wellbeing focused initiative is to help children and teenagers open up about their worries, listen to others, reflect on their feelings, while getting out and getting active! 

Event Details:

  • Date: Choose any date in March, 2025
  • Location: Your school, yard, or local area

How to complete you Lap & Chat for Childline

You will receive a wellbeing talk from Childline to help your students and children to think about any worries they may have.

Then they simply pair up with a friend and take a few laps around your yard, school or in your local area. During the lap, encourage them to chat about what is on their minds and what may be worrying them. And to not forget to listen to their friends worries too during their lap.

When they come back, they will have their own reflection workbook, for their eyes only. Acting as a diary entry after expressing their worries on their Lap and Chat, they can explore what is on their mind a bit further and how their Lap and Chat helped.
