Young people can for a 350 grant to cover the cost of their chosen weekly activity for a year, and groups can for up to 5,000 to either develop new activities or expand existing ones. Groups including schools, voluntary organisations and activity providers can. Individual grant applications need the backing of a responsible adult such as a teacher or youth worker and applications can be made at any time. Grant applications for groups will be assessed quarterly throughout the year. Councillor Frances Nicholson, Cabinet Member for Children and Families at Somerset County Council, said: Evidence shows that these sorts of activities boost young people s social skills and emotional wellbeing, and this in turn helps them develop the skills to achieve their potential. This is a great opportunity and I hope groups and individuals across the area will seize it with both hands. More information on the grants, funding deadlines and application forms are available from the Youth Funding pages of the Somerset Youth website. Anyone who has questions about the grant programme should contact SCC s Youth & Community Service. youthservice@somerset.gov.uk Stay in the shade Create a shady area/den in the garden using an old sheet or blanket, chairs and some pegs for young children/babies to play in whilst outside Stay Hydrated Make sure you and your children drink plenty of water throughout the day to prevent de-hydration Cover Up Make sure children wear a hat that covers their head and neck and a top that covers their shoulders as these areas are most likely to burn Apply Suncream Buy a suncream that has a SPF of at least 15 and protects against UVA & UVB rays Re regularly throughout the day, especially after your child has been swimming or playing in water and don t forget to put it on their ears and neck too!
