Southern Area LPG FYI – 27th May 2021

Welcome to Issue 60 of ‘FYI’.

As summer is just around the corner we are asking all services and organisations in the Southern Area to let us know what you are organising for children and young people so we can share this vital information.

It’s been a very difficult time over the last few months so we want to let people know what is on in their local area for their children to enjoy.

We are currently working on our Action plans for all of Locality Planning Groups so if
you wish to become involved, have a look at the dates of the next meetings on the last
slide and contact us to confirm your attendance.

Please feel free to forward this resource to any colleagues or families you work with.
