Families looking for ideas for the summer holidays will be pleased to know Shropshire Council’s Family Information Service (FIS) have now launched their summer fun guide for 2013.

The guide, newly available as an e-book, offers a fantastic range of activities and ideas to keep children and young people entertained over the summer season. The guide covers events and fun activities organised for children, young people and families across the county. Please click here to access the e-book.

Whatever parents choose to do this summer, if you are looking for a few activity days or full time care at a holiday play scheme, out of school club, or a child-minder, our advice is to plan ahead and see what’s in our Summer Season guide. You can find all the information you need in one place, making the summer holidays fun for all the family.

Families can also get latest updates and find out what to do this summer on FIS online directory.

The FIS has been established to help parents or carers make the best use of childcare and children and young people’s services available in their area. The service is continually working to expand the ways that parents and carers can gain access to quality information, advice and support that might otherwise remain unknown and therefore inaccessible to families.

Ann Hartley, Shropshire Council Cabinet member with responsibility the Family Information Service commented:

“The FIS directory is the place to go for information on what’s on for children, young people and families during the summer holidays. It has information on a wide choice of activities ranging from sports and outdoor, drama, arts & crafts, music, and dance. Information is also on hand about great days out which children and young people can enjoy by themselves or which families can enjoy together.

“Whether people are looking for a few fun activity days or full-time registered childcare this summer break, the FIS offers a fantastic service and wide range of information to let parents, carers and children know what is available in their area.”
