Welcome to another information-laden edition of ‘FYI’ (For Your Information), Issue 102.

Did you know we send this e-bulletin to nearly 800 contacts across the Southern area, made up of all our Locality Planning Group members and people who have asked to receive this great resource? If you have anything to publicise, ‘FYI’ is a great way to reach a high number of people who work in the field of improving outcomes for children and young people, including family support. We also send it to a large number of parents and caregivers too, as well as anyone else interested in receiving the information.

Next month we will dedicate 2 editions of ‘FYI’ to include all summer activities which we know of in the area, so please send us any information you may have for your activity. We will include a template in our next edition for completion by all wishing to advertise your summer activity/activities.

With Easter nearly upon us, we have produced ‘FYI’ a few days earlier, to give you more time to peruse all the opportunities, events and resources. Please note, our next edition will be in just over 3 weeks time, so you have time to send your notices in to us after the Easter break.

In this edition, please share the information on page 3 to any schools you may have contacts with as we are hosting 3 short briefings online for schools and other interested groups on our new School Uniform Recycling Toolkit.  Also, feel free to share page 8 with your contacts regarding a free online information session on local drugs & alcohol services by SDACT.

Finally, for those in the Armagh locality, and for anyone who provides a support service for any age, see page 27 for further information on our forthcoming free event, as part of the Feel Good Armagh programme.

We hope you have a good Easter and are able to take a few days to recharge your batteries!
