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.

This is the first of 3 special editions to promote upcoming summer activities for children and young people in the Southern Area. You will see a call for submissions on Page 4 on what to submit and we are very keen to also take ides for no / very low cost activities that families can do over the summer months with their children.

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.

On Page 3, you will see a call to submit any summer activities you are planning and want to promote, as we get asked every year what opportunities are available for children and young people during the summer and so now include these in ‘FYI’ to make everything easier to access.
