Those who are in receipt of holiday vouchers from North Tyneside; I have been asked to share the following information with you:

听鈥淒ear Parents / Guardians / Carers,

听

Could you please, as a matter of urgency, ensure you have provided your child or children鈥檚 school/s with the correct, accurate and most up to date email / contact details. This will guarantee the Free School Meal holiday voucher/s you are eligible for, reaches the correct recipient in good time to redeem them for the February half-term holiday.

听

Can parents / guardians / carers also contact their own individual school/s in the first instance if you have any questions and or concerns about eligibility or to confirm the number of voucher orders you expect to receive, to assure your child/children do not miss out.

The voucher activation date will be Friday 14^th February 2025. 鈥�

Just to add, I use the email address that you provide when applying for these vouchers or from the initial information you provide to school. If you change email address and wish me to update, please contact me directly. Some of you know that I do track these to ensure parents are activating them on time. I don鈥檛 want those who are eligible to lose out. If you have any difficulty, please contact me. I am here to help.

Newcastle Consultation.

There is an ongoing consultation which will be of interest to Newcastle residents about 鈥渟hort breaks鈥�.

鈥淐ommunity Short Breaks Offer Consultation 2025

Newcastle City Council鈥檚 current contractual arrangements for our Community Short Breaks Offer are due to end in 2025.

The Community Short Breaks offer refers to opportunities for children and young people with additional needs to spend time relaxing and having fun with their friends, in their local community. Short breaks can also give families a rest from their caring responsibilities, and they can offer families the means to spend quality time together. This proposal relates to Community Short Breaks as described above and does not include support within the home or overnight respite.

Following a review of the current Community Short Breaks offer, and a period of engagement with children, young people, and their families, as well as the provider market, we are now consulting with parents, carers, children and young people and providers on a proposal to put in place four contracts which will be supported by a wider universal and targeted offer available to families in the city. We will consider all feedback received prior to determining the final Commissioning Model.

How you can take part

Please read this information about our proposal:听

You can send your comments by email to Louise Fitzgerald, Commissioning and Procurement Officer, at:听louise.fitzgerald@newcastle.gov.uk.

The deadline for responses is听5pm on Friday 31st January. If you have any questions, or need this survey in a different format such as large print, please contact us by emailing:听louise.fitzgerald@newcastle.gov.uk听or call: 0191 278 7878.
