Other holiday ideas.........

Do you need more ideas or alternatives for things to do for children in the holidays or need school holiday care solutions?

For school aged children, holiday playcare schemes can offer lots of different activities throughout the day and most are open each week day for much of the holiday. Many are also Ofsted registered so are suitable if you are claiming help with childcare costs.

Did you know that you can ask for a list of holiday playcare schemes in your area by contacting our Enquiry Service by phone on 0114 275 6699 (Monday - Friday 9.00am - 4.00pm) or emailing us at info@sheffinfolink.org.uk

Enquiry shop closes its doors We are sad to say that our ‘drop-in shop’ at 11 Leopold Street closed its doors for the last time at 12.30pm on Friday July 1st.

We have been based there since 1999, and over the years our team has supported many thousands of local parents who were just passing and thought they would pop in. Thank you to everyone who has come and seen us during that time – we have enjoyed meeting you.

When: Wednesday 31st August Time: 7.00pm - 9.30pm Cost: Adult £12.00, Child £8.00 Age: Family Activity A walk into Longshaw’s woods at dusk to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of bats and enjoy a plate of delicious bangers and mash in the Longshaw visitor centre.

Although the drop-in has closed, we are pleased to let you know that we can still provide all the same quality family information as before. We have increased the amount of sessions we do out and about and members of our team can be found regularly in community venues all over Sheffield. You can also still call us on 0114 275 6699, or email us your questions at info@sheffinfolink.org.uk

What do you think about the What’s On? We have had requests by parents to have our What’s On guide to be even more user friendly and to be organised by areas in Sheffield.

Because Sheffield City Council have split the areas in Sheffield by Community Assemblies we have decided to arrange our What’s On guide this way (please see map at front of booklet).

We’d love to hear what you think about our What’s On guide whatever your comments...

We’re constantly developing our service so we can support you even better, and we send out a regular e-newsletter to keep our customers up to date with what’s going on.

To sign up to the e-newsletter, go to www.sheffinfolink.org.uk and click on the ‘Other SIL Services’ box, then go to the ‘Find out more about SIL’ page.

You’ll find a link from there to a short sign up form. Or you can email info@sheffinfolink.org.uk - just tell us your name, email address and that you want to sign up to the e-newsletter, and we’ll take it from there.
