‘Hello and welcome to the June edition of the Family Support Hub Newsletter. It’s hard to believe we’re on the cusp of the school summer holidays already! With that in mind Yvonne has been working away to get all the information fitted in with a special effort to include information about summer activities/events alongside the usual array of useful information. Throughout the summer we will also be sharing information across our CYPSP social media channels so please check these out.

It is also packed full of information for parents/carers, early years, children & young people with a disability,  mental health and wellbeing advice,  Helplines and much more – make sure you download your copy now!

Previous editions of the newsletter are available at  http://www.cypsp.hscni.net/family-support-hubs  under Family Support Newsletter section.

Feel Good Armagh – New Services Resource

Posted on by

On Saturday 15th June 2024 the Feel Good Armagh event was held on The Mall in Armagh. This free event was organised to help all ages of the communities in Armagh to find out what support and opportunities were available on their doorstep.  Over 50 services and organisations held information stands to inform the public (and each other) of what they provide, and activities were held for children along with historical walking tours of The Mall. Music and food were provided too!

A new resource was produced by the Planning Group of attending services on the day, and the resource was both printed and available digitally which is regularly updated.

The event was funded by Ark and Triangle Housing, ABC Council and Children in Northern Ireland. The Planning Group consisted of member organisations from CYPSP’s Armagh Locality Planning Group (LPG) who were ABC Council, SHSCT, Barnardo’s PosAbility and Family Support Hub, ArKe Sure Start, Youth Action NI, React, Papyrus, West Armagh Consortium and Vibe.

We are hurtling towards Summer during these busy weeks, and just to give you an idea of the various Awareness Weeks and Campaigns currently running and coming up: Volunteers Week is running now and next week sees Men’s Health Week, Infant Mental Health Awareness Week, Loneliness Awareness Week and Carers Week. Further information on all these start on Page 18.

 We are also in the middle of ‘Summer is Coming’: an addition to ‘FYI’ to highlight forthcoming summer schemes and activities across the Southern Area. This is essential for families and practitioners to know what is available for children, young people and families this summer. Keep sending us your information on these and anything else which can be of use to children, young people and families.

We have also included our School Uniform Toolkit on Page 3: A free practical resource for use by any group who want to set up and run a recycling scheme in their area. For anyone wishing to find out more about this and learn how we can help support you, please contact us at the usual address.
