Back to School Family Support Hubs Newsletter

Posted on by

The Back to School edition of the Family Support Newsletter is now available: – https://cypsp.hscni.net/download/391/family-support-hubs/48999/fshnewsletter_aug2026.pdf

Colourful “Welcome Back to School” graphic on a black chalkboard-style background. Large yellow script text reads “Welcome,” with bold white chalk-effect text reading “BACK” and multicoloured letters spelling “TO SCHOOL.” Decorative school-themed illustrations include pencils, books, a backpack, stars, confetti, and fireworks in bright colours around the text.As summer holidays come to an end and a new school year begins, many families will be busy getting back into routines, preparing school bags, and helping children and young people settle into the months ahead. While this time of year can be exciting, it can also bring a few worries and challenges, especially when children are starting a new school, moving up a year group, or adapting to new routines.

In this edition, we’ve gathered together a range of information, activities and support services to help families make the transition back to school as smooth as possible.

Whether you’re looking for practical advice, local opportunities, or information about the support available in your area, we hope you’ll find something useful inside.

King’s Trust newsletter banner with the King’s Trust logo in white on a red background. White text on the right reads “The King's Trust Newsletter” and “Northern Ireland, September 2026”.

August and September can bring a lot of change for young people.

Some might be receiving exam results, leaving school or college, looking for work, thinking about a new direction, or just not sure what they want to do next.

The King’s Trust is here to help young people find their next steps – allowing them to explore their options, build confidence, and find practical support to move towards a future that feels right for them. All our courses are free, and we reimburse travel costs for all our courses. We can also support with childcare costs.

With summer coming towards a close, preparations for the next school year are under way and so there is lots of information on starting / back to school spread across this edition. As of today, it is also officially exam results season, so you will find details on various supports, resources & opportunities available to young people (and their families), as they look ahead to their next chapter.

We have a few weeks of summer left and there is still plenty going on across the Southern Trust Area for children, young people & families, so thank you to all those who submitted information on upcoming events, programmes and workshops for sharing.

 

See you in the next school year!
