Funding for a summer programme for children and young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aberdeen City Council has been awarded money from the Scottish Government to provide children and young people (aged 5-14 years old) with a range of opportunities, activities and childcare during the summer school holidays. It can also be used to provide food for those taking part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who will benefit? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The summer programme is likely to feature a mixture of community-based clubs and activities, childcare and free access to take part in some \u2018paid for\u2019 programmes offered by partners such as Sport Aberdeen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
85% of the funding is mostly aimed at children and young people (aged 5-14) from \u2018low-income households\u2019 who fit into one of the following categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Children from lone parent families<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Children from ethnic minority families<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Children from families which have 1 or more person with disabilities (adult or child)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Children from families with a young mother (under 25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Children from families with a child under 1 year old<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Children from larger families (3+ children)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remaining 15% will be used to provide opportunities for children and young people outside of these groups. How can you help? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The summer 2022 offer will look quite different this year and we need your help to get it right. Your views will help us to plan and put together a programme that meets the needs and interests of your family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
