In this our third special edition you will find more information on summer activities taking place across the Southern Trust Area for children, young people and their families. This starts on Page 4. To access the two previous editions, just follow the links on Page 73. We have consistently been asked what provision is available in the summer time and know how valuable this is to families and also practitioners to be able to share.
Our next edition is on Thursday 17th July, so please bear this in mind when sharing your flyers and information – See Page 75 for details of all July to December newsletter dates & deadlines.
We hope you enjoy your summer and get a chance to have a well-earned break!

Help Kids Talk
Help Kids Talk is an award winning project within Early Intervention Lisburn (EIL) which is led by the Resurgam Community Development Trust, the SEHSCT Speech and Language Therapy Team, Barnardo’s NI, and Early Intervention Lisburn partnership. Help Kids Talk is funded by the Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council. The Help Kids Talk vision is that “everyone will work together to help kids talk”.
The project is a community-wide initiative and aims to ensure everyone with responsibility for babies, children or young people, prioritises their speech, language, and communication development. This project will result in a positive impact across all areas of a child’s life including educational attainment, mental health and wellbeing, social relationships, and employability later in life.
