Young people with additional needs who took part in the Autonomie Summer Scheme which ran 20 - 23 July and 10 - 13 August have hailed the programme as “the best ever”.

The Summer Activity Programme too place at Annandale Community Centre as well as Belfast Activity Centre.

Young people were assigned to one of 2 groups as part of Covid safety regulations.

The programme proved popular with no spaces left and young people attended on their assigned weeks.

Activity highlights included participants making their own tie-dye t-shirts, Wee Critters Interactive Animal Education Show, baking, games and art and crafts.

Parents too got in on the action, joining young people for ‘I’m A Celebrity get me out of here’ themed-challenges.

Lynne Morrison, Autonomie Chief Officer said “Another fantastic Summer Activity Programme for our Young People. I’m delighted that everyone has had a fun time at the programme.

“I would also like to commend the Summer Activity Programme staff Emma, Nicole and Tessie for delivering a well-planned exciting and fun-packed 4 weeks of adventure and entertainment for our Young People.
