Designed to improve the health and wellbeing of children and families, the JRS Summer Programme provided a range of activities that offered the opportunity for play, integration and development of social skills outside the institutionalised environment of Direct Provision accommodation.

 The activities included family beach trips, Zumba classes, rock climbing, drumming workshops and much more.
