Armagh Locality Planning Group: Feel Good Armagh

Posted on by

Friday 9th and Saturday 10th June saw 2 massively successful events to showcase support services in the Armagh locality area. 

On Friday 9th June, 66 services hosted information stalls to highlight support for all ages in the Armagh area.   The event was held at City of Armagh Hotel and funded through Ark and Tringle Housing along with Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council. 

 

On Saturday 10th June a youth event was held at the EA Youth Service’s Epicentre Youth Centre and open to the 11+ age group. Around 170 young people took part in a wide variety of activities ranging from Arts & Crafts and African Drumming to Boxercise and Dungeons and Dragons.  A total of 22 activities were offered along with free pizza, fruit kebabs and refreshments.  The event was a joint effort from 11 member services of Armagh Locality Planning Group and funded by CYPSP, CiNI, SHSCT and ABC Council.

Both events were agreed at a previous meeting of Armagh LPG to highlight the support services available for all ages in Armagh with a particular emphasis on activities for children and young people.
