☀️ What a summer it’s been at Stratton Youth! 💚

As the summer holidays come to a close, we’d like to share how we've been making the most of the sunshine with some brilliant experiences for our young people! 🎉

🏖️ Weston-super-Mare Beach Trip: We enjoyed a fantastic day out by the seaside and the fun activities at the pier, making great memories together enjoying the rides, mini golf and arcade!

👮 PCSO Visit: Our young people had the opportunity to meet with our local Police Community Support Officers and learn more about the work they do in our community!

💦 Inflatable fun at Meadowcroft Field: Plenty of bouncing, splashing and laughter!

It’s been great to see so many young people getting involved, trying new things and enjoying time together. 💚

There will be plenty more to look forward to at Stratton Youth! 👀

🐾 Happy International Dog Day! 🐾

If you’re out enjoying the day with your four-legged friend, why not make use of Stephen's Road Dog Park? It’s a great space for local dogs to run, play and have some fun! 🐕

And there's more to come 👀 We’re also planning to install another dog park at Merton Fields in September, giving even more local dogs and their owners a dedicated space to enjoy!

And, as we celebrate our furry friends, we also remember those who are no longer with us. 💚 Our Pet Memorial Board at Stephen's Road Dog Park provides a special place for residents to remember beloved pets who have passed away.

👉 You can find out more info about the board here: https://bit.ly/4gopzqA
