He was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Well done Kyron!

The sunshine has been absolutely glorious, hasn't it? We know that whilst many of us are enjoying the beautiful weather, summer can bring its own challenges too. Whether it's managing the heat at home, keeping everyone (including our furry friends!) comfortable, or simply trying to stay cool without breaking the bank, we understand that this time of year isn't always easy for everyone.

And let's be honest – when it's hot and we're not sleeping well, we can all feel a bit frazzled! Whether it's with our loved ones, colleagues, or even that driver going slowly in front of us when our car's air con has given up... we're all human!

Here's the good news: we're here to help!

If you're finding things a bit tough right now, please don't hesitate to get in touch. We're just a phone call or email away, and we can connect you with brilliant organisations who can support with:

• Financial advice and assistance

• Physical and mental health support

• Services for additional needs and disabilities

Plus, don't forget our ShopWise Community Shop! Pop along every Monday from 11.30am-1.30pm. For just £3 per visit (and NO PAPERWORK – yes, really!), you can pick up fresh fruit and veg plus 10 points to spend on other items. Head to section 5 for all the details.

What's inside this edition?

With only a few weeks to go before the summer holidays, we’ve got just the thing to keep your children active, engaged, and having fun.

The Surrey Cricket Foundation Summer Holiday Camps are back this August at George Abbot School, Guildford, offering four days packed full of cricket, games, and activity for children aged 8 to 13.

Our camps go beyond cricket. While professional coaching is at the heart of each day, we also focus on developing fundamental movement skills through fun, high-energy multi-sport activities, helping children build confidence, coordination, and friendships along the way.

Why choose our Summer Camps?

• Inclusive & supportive environment – perfect for all abilities

• Skill development – tailored cricket coaching for beginners through to experienced players

• Active and varied days – multi-sport games to boost agility and teamwork

• Lots of fun! – a great way to stay active during the holidays

📅 Camp Dates (09:00 – 15:30)

3rd – 6th August

10th – 13th August

17th – 20th August

💷 £165 per 4-day camp

Whether your child dreams of playing at The Ashes or simply wants to enjoy an active holiday with friends, our camps provide the ideal environment.

Spaces are limited, so we recommend booking early to secure a place.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Cricket Participation Coordinator, Lu Cary.

We look forward to welcoming your child this summer!
