Good luck to everyone going back to school tomorrow! We’ll be thinking of you all!

We’ll be taking a few weeks to work behind the scenes to plan a programme of activities and we’ll be back in September.

We’ll update in the next couple of weeks on how to register for a space for 2023/24 and what exciting things we have planned!

See you all soon!

To mark the very last day of our summer programme and our last day with our 11+ group, we teamed up with Print Clan CIC to design our own Urban Fox t-shirts!⠀
⠀
Arianna, Susie and Rachel led everyone through the process starting with how to develop design ideas, the tricky skill of cutting out intricate details and then finally, the screen printing itself, including how to add layers and different colours.⠀
⠀
Everyone was so please with how their final design ideas worked out and went home wearing what they’d made! ⠀
⠀
A big thank you to Print Clan for an amazing day and to Glasgow City Council because without them, the summer programme wouldn’t have been possible!⠀

To celebrate the final week of our summer programme, we spent 3 days at Heads of Ayr Farm Park🦙⠀
⠀
The kids had a ball meeting the animals and experiencing everything that Heads of Ayr had to offer!⠀
⠀
It was the loveliest way to round up a full summer programme and wave the children off before a new year of school!⠀
⠀
Good luck to everyone going back tomorrow, we’ll be thinking of you all and know you’ll smash it! ⠀
⠀
As always, a huge thanks to Glasgow City Council because without them, our summer programme would not have been possible and to Cash for Kids for supporting our final week of fun! 💕⠀
