The summer holidays have officially started and it is now time to look out for those families in the community, who may be struggling from holiday hunger and isolation.
Our first event was a fantastic start to our LOVE Summer project and it wouldn’t have been possible without your help! It was Science & Discovery week which included crazy science experiments and a pop up planetarium. The children had the opportunity to get their eyes tested while they were there and pick up some activities to do at home.
We managed to grab our busy Project Worker, Fenna, who told us more about what went on…
How did LOVE Summer go today?
“Great, lots of fun! The children loved the messy play dough and the science experiments were excellent”
“Thank you to all of our volunteers. Louisa was amazing doing the galaxy play dough and Terene’s science experiments were really interesting”. Terene was referred to us a few years ago and we helped her get the support she was entitled to. Read her story here.
Boots, one of our LOVE Summer partners and supporters this year, were there doing vision screening tests and giving out free eye-check story books. Fenna said, “Boots were amazing and got to identify some children who need further eye tests and treatments.
“We also had Immersive Theatre’s pop-up planetarium outside the venue which was an awesome experience for both the children and parents!”
Thank you to all who have donated food, money or your time so that LOVE Summer can be a success. You can get involved right now and support families facing holiday hunger by texting ‘SUMR03 £3’ to 70070 and donating £3!
