School Uniform Recycling Toolkit 2023

Posted on by

 

Download Infographic Report

The Southern Area Locality Planning Team have produced an Infographic to report on the impact of this year’s School Uniform Recycling Toolkit. This free resource was produced to provide a user friendly, free, practical guide for schools and community groups to use in order to hold a successful school uniform recycling scheme. We provided checklists for discussions, templates to use, tips which shared good practice, and evaluation forms which we collated to produce individual reports for each initiative.

11 schools and groups used the Toolkit during 2023 and send completed feedback forms to demonstrate the effectiveness of the resource.

We had around 1,250 items donated totalling a value of over £8,000. These items were successfully recycled across the Southern area.

If your school or group is interested in finding out more about this free resource, and how to avail of our support in 2024, please contact Darren  Curtis at localityplanning@ci-ni.org.uk

Welcome to Issue 116 of our fortnightly newsletter, ‘FYI’ (For Your Information).

As our last ‘FYI’ for 2023, we thank you for your support, readership and submissions of information throughout the year. It has been another challenging year, in many ways, however this demonstrates the need to support everything and everyone working in our communities for the benefit of children, young people and families.

We extend our invitation to all practitioners and volunteers to attend any of our LPG meetings and have included a calendar for all our 6 LPG meeting dates in 2024 on Page 3.

Wishing you a very restful festive period, best wishes for the new year, and we’ll see you again in 2024!

As the festive season is nearly upon us, we are very keen to receive notification on services and support available for children, young people and families in the Southern Area.  As you will see on the next slide, Action for Children are collating such information to support young carers across the Christmas period. If your service covers the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Council Area, please read through the slide and send any relevant information to Action for Children ASAP.

 You will also see on page 4 a new updated CYPSP Cost of Living Resource, which gives a lot of support across Northern Ireland, with a section for our own geographic area too.

The final ‘FYI’ issue of 2023 will go out on Thursday 7th December, so please send all relevant information for inclusion in good time.

More new opportunities in this edition to get involved with a range of activities, events and consultations, as well as our usual abundance of information!

In our next edition, we will include a survey to all Locality Planning Group members regarding the format and dates of LPG meetings next year. We are always very keen to have high attendances at these meetings which include a lot of information sharing among local services and organisations in the Southern Trust Area.  There is a great chance to network and find out what is happening in your local area. If you have not attended any of these meetings before, but are interested in finding out more, please contact Darren at darren@ci-ni.org.uk.

As always, keep your flyers coming!

This week is National Parenting Week, so we have started off this edition with key support and services to assist local families.  We have also included information relating to National Adoption Week, which again is this week.

 

You will find a lot of new opportunities throughout the edition, including a chance to learn more about, and contribute to, the new Emotional Health and Wellbeing Network’s Framework – See Page 23 for a brief description of this and avail of the opportunities to attend an online and face-to-face session to help shape this key piece of work. Emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people remains one of, if not, the most pertinent issue and priority for all of our Locality Planning Groups.

 

We hope you get something from this edition. Your feedback is welcome, as always!
