Summer is Coming! – Promote Your 2023 Summer Activities
Summer activities continue to play a vital role in helping children, young people and families to reconnect with programmes, groups and friends. Participation has also been proven to help maintain good emotional and physical wellbeing.
Each year, we aim to provide timely, useful information for parents & caregivers, children, young people and workers who are searching for activities for their children/clients to participate in during the months of July & August. We have previously released a stand-alone resource covering all of the Southern Trust Area, however this year we are incorporating this information into our June editions of ‘FYI’, the next of which will circulate on Thursday 22nd June 2023.
We invite you to submit any relevant information on summer activities which your organisation or group will be running this summer, or alternatively any schemes you may know of, so we can once again showcase the great range of opportunities available across the Southern Trust Area.
This year we are not asking members to complete a template, but instead to send us any flyers which can be directly inserted into ‘FYI’. If you are unable to obtain any artwork, do still please contact us with details of activities in good time.
Send your summer activities flyer(s) to localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk by Tuesday 20th June 2023.
