Northern Family Support Hubs attended Youth Fairs

The Northern Family Support Hubs attended three Youth Fairs throughout the month of February. Five local schools were in attendance at the Youth Fairs – Carrick Academy, Carrick Grammar, Ulidia Integrated College, Larne Grammar and St. Killian’s College. The events were very successful and a great chance for young people to learn what support and services is available to them in their area.

Inclusive Beaches- Mae Murray Foundation

There are five Inclusive Beaches across Northern Ireland ensuring everyone can get to the beach – with Changing Places Toilets or equivalent, and equipment to help people with all needs get onto the beach or into the water (at RNLI patrolled beaches).   

The Mae Murray Foundation is free to join, and it is free for members to use our equipment and attend our events.  For more information, please contact Pippa, Community Development Officer with the Mae Murray Foundation on 0751 093 1904

Parent Participation Q&A Session

Children in NI via Parentline NI have produced this video that gives an example of the Q&A session they have been delivering to potential parent champions on behalf of CYPSP.  This new innovative Parent Participation Service has been set up to engage and ensure voices of parents are heard and to build capacity with services that develop parent engagement.

View video here https://youtu.be/qtPsLBTb4Ew

This project will ensure voices of parents count and provide opportunities to influence services and participate in decisions that affect them.
