Welcome to Issue 116 of our fortnightly newsletter, ‘FYI’ (For Your Information).

As our last ‘FYI’ for 2023, we thank you for your support, readership and submissions of information throughout the year. It has been another challenging year, in many ways, however this demonstrates the need to support everything and everyone working in our communities for the benefit of children, young people and families.

We extend our invitation to all practitioners and volunteers to attend any of our LPG meetings and have included a calendar for all our 6 LPG meeting dates in 2024 on Page 3.

Wishing you a very restful festive period, best wishes for the new year, and we’ll see you again in 2024!

As the festive season is nearly upon us, we are very keen to receive notification on services and support available for children, young people and families in the Southern Area.  As you will see on the next slide, Action for Children are collating such information to support young carers across the Christmas period. If your service covers the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Council Area, please read through the slide and send any relevant information to Action for Children ASAP.

 You will also see on page 4 a new updated CYPSP Cost of Living Resource, which gives a lot of support across Northern Ireland, with a section for our own geographic area too.

The final ‘FYI’ issue of 2023 will go out on Thursday 7th December, so please send all relevant information for inclusion in good time.
