Our impact
-
'We chose the Summer Hype programme because of their ambitious focus on personal growth and developing peer relationships in a supportive, inclusive and stimulating environment. This goes beyond the provision of diversionary activities and strives to challenge children on a deeper level to think creatively about themselves and the challenges they experience in wider society whilst at the same time encouraging them to take responsibility for their actions. This is a powerful programme that has a lasting impact on all the children who participate. Well done Summer Hype!'

'I do not say it lightly, but in over 12 years of working in youth work and education, I have rarely been more impressed and in awe of anyone than I am of you. Your energy, humour and nature, gifts and talents of embracing the kids at Summer Hype is second to none. What [Summer Hype] has built is incredibly unique both in practice and design. You have designed a programme that gives the children who attend the very best experience to grow and develop at such a tender age. You have not only created something special but you have shared your vision with others and made believers out of all the leaders. A belief that all kids deserve the very best start in life, and if some aren’t getting it, you can actually do something about it.'
Shane McLaughlin, Welfare Officer
