Here's a selection of fun activities and helpful information for you and your family...
 Get ready for the return to school
In the next few weeks, all children and young people in Tower Hamlets will be required to go back to school. Our schools are safe places and the best place to learn and staff have been working hard throughout lockdown, and all summer, to prepare them for the new year.
Visit www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/backtoschool for the latest advice, information and support, plus answers to some common questions. Be sure to check regularly as it is being updated constantly.
We look forward to welcoming you back in September.
 Tower Hamlets Summer Activities 2020
There are still a few weeks of summer left and there are still lots of activities to keep kids and teens busy and most of them are absolutely FREE. So whether it's an online photography workshop or music production lessons, there's something for everyone.
 Join the Disability Sports Coach summer festival
Disability Sports Coach are running a free Virtual Summer Festival this year, in place of their usual event. The four-day event will feature a mixture of sports sessions, fun activities and expert panels.
It'll take place via Zoom throughout the day, from Tuesday 25 to Friday 28 August.
 Home grown skills
Learning doesn't only happen in the classroom. We learn some of the most important life skills at home and from other experiences. These activities from Yes! Futures will support young people to develop key skills such as confidence and resilience, as well as improve overall wellbeing.
