Things to Do 
We are excited to provide a number of activities and wellbeing support for children and young people. The Summer of Smiles was well received by all and we’re planning to build on this success to support the wellbeing of children and young people aged 0–25 years over the winter months.
Covid-19 has impacted on the emotional, social, and physical wellbeing of children and young people. Consistent themes include impacts on socialisation, communication, emotional and mental health, low levels of physical activity, increased sedentary behaviour, healthy eating, and obesity. Addressing these impacts requires a package of support with a wide range of interventions.
While all children have been impacted, the pandemic, and the restrictions, have had particular impacts on marginalised and disadvantaged groups. It has impacted those from poorer communities and backgrounds and those children who are part of families who already require extra support.
