Southern Area LPG FYI – 8th July 2021

Welcome to the 62nd edition of our information bulletin, FYI (For Your Information).

FYI Issue 62 8th July 2021

You will see that we have changed the look of our fortnightly newsletter and hope this makes it easier to navigate for you. Any feedback, as always, is very welcome!

We are delighted to be able to share our Summer Activities Directory with you (See page 3), which has been compiled to help children and young people re-connect with services and friends and enjoy the school holidays.

We know that a lot of services are offering an extended range of programmes, activities, workshops, etc. across July & August and so we would ask you to please keep submitting your information to us, so that we can share that on and continue to improve outcomes for children, young people and their families living in the SHSCT area.

Joanne Patterson & Darren Curtis, Locality Development Team, Southern Area

Summer is Coming!

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.
