A Huge Thank You to Ballymote Community Collective! We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Ballymote Community Collective for their incredibly generous donation of £4,000 towards our Summer Scheme- both morning and afternoon sessions. This fantastic contribution has made a huge difference, enabling us to provide a high-quality, engaging and enjoyable experience for all of the children attending this summer. From exciting activities and educational opportunities to memorable experiences, this support helps ensure that every child can benefit from a fun-filled programme. Importantly, Ballymote Community Collective's generosity has also allowed us to keep participation costs extremely low – at approximately £1 per child per hour – making the scheme accessible to as many families as possible. Community support like this plays a vital role in creating opportunities for our young people, and we are truly grateful for Ballymote Community Collective's commitment to investing in the children and families of our area. Thank you for helping us make this summer special for our children! Ballymote Community Project

Summer Scheme 2026 – What a Fantastic Success! As our 2026 Summer Scheme comes to an end, we would like to say a huge thank you to all the children who attended and made the programme such a success. Over the past weeks, the children have enjoyed a wide range of activities including sports, arts and crafts, and ICT, making new friends, learning new skills and creating lasting memories along the way. We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to all the staff and coordinators whose hard work, enthusiasm and dedication made the scheme possible. We finished on a high with an exciting Fun Day, featuring inflatables, games and an epic water fight, providing the perfect ending to a brilliant summer. Thank you to everyone who helped make Summer Scheme 2026 such a memorable experience!
