🌞 Summer with a ‘DIFF'erence event programme for Cardiff's Young People 🌞
After hundreds of young people enjoyed six weeks of activities, events and experiences throughout the city last year, the Cardiff Youth Service are once again organising ‘Summer with a DIFF'erence', a programme aimed at delivering activities for young people aged 11-25, across the holiday period.
The events programme will run from mid-July until late August and offer inclusive, fun-filled experiences for all abilities including outdoor activities, day trips, youth exchanges, community events, a football tournament, circus workshops and a thrilling Aqua Park and International White Water Centre takeover.
Regular youth clubs will also be taking place across the city offering activities including cooking, arts and crafts, gaming, and sport, all in safe spaces for young people to connect with each other, make new friends and try new things.
The Cardiff Content Creators, a group of young people who joined forces with young creators and a broadcaster from California to learn broadcasting skills and shoot videos during the Summer with a DIFF'erence 2023, are offering a unique opportunity for young people aged 11-17 to take part in a digital summer camp. The Storey Arms Outdoor Education Centre in Brecon will also be providing a series of outdoor experiences.
The ultimate city-wide event program which is being updated throughout the summer holidays can be found here:

🌳 Consultation launched on plans to protect Sanatorium Park in Canton 🌳
An eight-week public consultation on plans to protect 11 parks in Cardiff and ensure they remain publicly accessible green spaces, has been launched.
Subject to the results of the consultation, Cardiff Council is proposing to enter into a legal agreement known as ‘deed of dedication' with Fields In Trust- an independent UK-wide charity dedicated to the protection of parks and green spaces.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Council would have to maintain the land for the purposes of outdoor leisure and recreation only - meaning it could not be sold for development or developed by the Council.
Sanatorium Park in Canton is one of the parks proposed for this protection.
Ownership, management and maintenance of the sites would remain with Cardiff Council.
Residents can learn more about the plans, and share their views in a short online survey before it closes on 2nd September 2024, here: www.outdoorcardiff.com/parks/proposals-to-protect-green-spaces/
Ten council-owned sites are already permanently protected by Fields In Trust. They are: Alexandra Gardens, Grange Gardens, Heath Park, Hywel Dda Open Space, Llanishen Park, Moorland Park, Pontcanna Fields, Pontprennau Fields, Roath Recreation Ground, and Rumney Recreation Ground. ...

More than 20,900 primary-age school pupils city-wide can now benefit from free school meals through the Welsh Government's Universal Free School Meals programme, ensuring children eat well during the school day. This also provides a significant financial benefit to families, easing their financial burden.
Extensive work carried out by Cardiff's Education Catering teams has updated school kitchens across the city and increased capacity so that provision can be efficiently delivered to primary-aged children in Cardiff's primary and special schools.

🩺Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) vaccination programme 🩺
The Welsh Government has announced an RSV immunisation programme will start in Wales in September to protect infants and older adults (www.gov.uk/government/publications/rsv-immunisation-programme-jcvi-advice-7-june-2023)
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the common viruses causing coughs and colds in winter. Globally, RSV infects up to 90% of children within the first two years of life and frequently reinfects older children and adults. Babies under one and the elderly are at the greatest risk of being hospitalised.
The following has been announced:
✅A routine, year-round RSV vaccination offer for older adults as they turn 75, with a one-off campaign taking place over 12 months for individuals between 75 and 79; and
✅ A routine, year-round RSV maternal vaccination programme for all pregnant women, aimed at protecting their newborn babies, which will be offered from 28-weeks gestation.
RSV is a very contagious virus, which infects 9 out of 10 children before their second birthday. More than a thousand babies in Wales are hospitalised every year with RSV.
