Summer has come and gone in the blink of an eye! Back to school and we hope we have been able to reflect the wide range of supports and opportunities available across the Southern Trust Area for children, young people and their families in this edition.
Our Locality Planning Groups have resumed meeting this morning 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 & families and you will find our 2026 LPG Meetings Calendar on the page 3. We’ll be delighted to tell you more, if you are interested.
Stay connected!

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
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.
