So, Summer has come and gone, in the blink of an eye! Back to school and we hope we have been able to reflect just some of the support and opportunities available for children, young people and their parents/carers.

Our Locality Planning Groups have resumed meeting this morning (5th September) in Armagh and will operate at full speed throughout the rest of the year. We welcome anyone working or volunteering to improve outcomes for children & young people and we’ll be delighted to tell you more, if you are interested.  Dates for the next meetings are on the second last page, as always.

 See you later in September!
