Making the Most of Summer

NO MATTER how much we anticipate the summer holidays, the long hot (and often rainy) days can sometimes drag, bringing that familiar cry, “I’m bored!” Keeping children entertained through those lazy days of summer can be a problem any time, but even more so when times are hard and cash in short supply.

Help is at hand for Eastleigh & Fareham families this summer, thanks to a new booklet, Making the Most of Summer.  Put together by Hampshire Families with information from many organisations, these booklets are jam packed with suggestions of activities, places to go and play ideas for all ages.

You may be surprised at the variety of entertainment Eastleigh & Fareham have to offer.  Add to this the ideas for activities in your own back garden or indoors on rainy days and the summer holidays won’t seem a minute too long.

Please let us have your comments on the booklet, especially if you would like future editions.

We would love to know how useful Making the Most of Summer was to you and your family.
