As you will see on the next page, we are about to embark on collating all opportunities we can for summer activities for children and young people available in the Southern Trust Area. We ask that anyone who wishes to advertise their forthcoming summer programmes and activities, to send us through the relevant details as explained on the page.

We will also endeavour to include no/low cost activities for summer, bearing in mind the current economic pressures felt by families.

This information will be included in the next 2 editions of ‘FYI’, so your assistance will be most appreciated.

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.

Futureproof promoting the CYPSP Youth Wellness Web in the Banbridge Locality

Posted on by

 

Futureproof, delivering the PHA-funded Youth Engagement Service (YES), were recently invited by New-Bridge Integrated College to deliver an information session to Year 11 pupils. The session covered issues affecting young people and where to access appropriate help and support. One resource the young people were signposted to was the Youth Wellness Web, an online resource, funded and created by CYPSP in partnership with young people, to provide a clear and quality-assured source of information on children and young people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health. All attendees were also provided with an information sheet on how to access key services such as Text-A-Nurse, Childline and Lifeline.
