The 0-13 yrs Care4Us Awards 2022

at the Fun Days 27th & 28th July

Dear Carer,

We are pleased to announce that the popular Children in Care CIC Fun Days will return on the 27^th and 28^th of July 2022

The event is aimed for 0-13year-olds but all children and young people in your household are welcome. If a young person in your household is from another local authority, please let us know.

Last year children had a great time playing on Playworld’s amazing equipment enjoying activities and making new friends.  Carers said that they really enjoyed the day as it was a safe place to let their children explore and play.

This event will be supported by staff who work with children in care and there will be lots of activities to get involved in such as bouncy castles, treasure hunts, football, Giant Snakes and Ladders, a picnic and an awards ceremony.

At 12-1pm, both days, we are celebrating the efforts and achievements that young people have made over the last couple of difficult years.

So, we would like you to tell us why all of the young people who you will be attending with have done well?

This could fall under the following categories: 

• Making good choices
• Working hard and doing well
• Giving it a go
• Being kind & helping others
• Sticking with it

Very important - If these categories don’t seem to fit for your children, please tell us a reason why we will be celebrating your child at the Fun Days

To secure your places at this fantastic event please complete and return the following sheets in the stamped address envelope by the July 11th to register.

We can’t wait to see you there,
