FLINTSHIRE summer play schemes are gearing up for another summer of fun – albeit a little differently this year.

The schemes will be delivered by the Council’s Play Development Team in partnership with local town and community councils, Urdd Gobaith Cymru, Flintshire Families Disability Service and Welsh Government.

Due to the current situation, the play schemes will run from August 17 – to August 28 (Monday to Friday). Pre-registration is essential for all site locations and there will be a maximum 28 children permitted per session.

All sessions are free of charge for children aged 5 to 12 years and all Covid-19 controls will be in place on site, including gel stations at entrance and exit points. All games and activities will be organised with social distancing measures in place.

Full information and parent/carer consent forms are now available online on the Flintshire Council website: Summer Play Schemes. Assistance in completing the forms is available.

Due to the ongoing situation, the council is unable to offer the “Share your Lunch” scheme this year.

The Flintshire Buddy scheme as in previous years will be an integral part of this provision providing one-to-one support for children with disabilities.
