All funding will be based on:

- Strength based approaches to youth work and the development of programmes that will encourage young people to reconnect, reenergise and reengage over the summer period.
Programmes should have a particular focus on the NI Mental Health Champion’s key recommendations:
-
- A physical activity programme that ensures that children and young people engage in a minimum amount of moderate to intense physical activity, with a focus on outdoors (1 hour daily)
- Healthy balanced meals and snacks
- Creative pursuits, including options for music, drama and art/ crafts
- Celebrations which involve parents and others within the community, to promote self-esteem and hope
