So, we re-badged it as 'Happy at Home' and changed the schedule to feature a large variety of fun and educational activities via video and web links. All activities were free and the program encouraged families to learn something new, make the most of what they had, exercise, develop practical life-skills, eat well, stay connected and have fun. 100 Mystery Busy Bags were also created, containing craft items for families to use at home and collected via the Click, Call and Collect service.
