Family Fun Day at Wepre Park

There's a Family Fun Day taking place at Wepre Park in Connah's Quay on Wednesday, August 7th.

This free event is designed to bring families together for a day filled with exciting activities, while also providing valuable information and support for children and young people who are deaf or have hearing loss.

The DSN Hear Me! Project, supported by The National Lottery Community Fund, is dedicated to improving communication within the home and social environments, boosting confidence, fostering independence, enhancing socialisation, and addressing issues such as relationship breakdowns and bullying among Deaf children and those with hearing loss. The funding has enabled DSN to employ specialist project workers Tracy Cresswell and Ashley MacKay to deliver tailored support to families across Wrexham and Flintshire.

The Family Fun Day which will take place on the green just outside of the Cafe in the park, promises a wide range of activities for everyone to enjoy, including a Sensory Story Tent, face painting, and interactive sessions with PCSO's from North Wales Police and Aura Leisure's Disability Sports colleagues. These activities are designed to engage children in fun, inclusive experiences that cater to their unique needs and interests.

Tracy Cresswell, DSN’s Senior Practitioner for the Hear Me! Project, encourages families to attend.

She said:

"We are thrilled to host the Hear Me! Family Fun Day at Wepre Park - our first big event since the project began in March. It's a fantastic opportunity for families to come together, enjoy a day out, and learn more about the support available through the Hear Me! Project. We want to empower our community, and this event is a great way to start. Whether you're looking for advice, support, or simply a fun day with your loved ones, we welcome you to join us and see how we can help."

The DSN Hear Me! Family Fun Day is an open invitation to all families, whether they are directly affected by hearing loss or simply want to learn more about the Deaf community and the resources available. It is a celebration of inclusion, community, and the positive impact that effective communication and support can have on the lives of young people and their families.
