🌞 That’s a wrap on Summer Fun! 🎉

As summer comes to an end, we’d like to say a huge thank you to Fleet Phoenix for putting on such a fantastic six-week programme of Summer Fun at Hartletts Park.

Every Tuesday, throughout the school holidays, our under-14s residents and their families could enjoy an afternoon packed with fun, including an inflatable, BBQ, games and lots of activities. It was fantastic to see how well the sessions were received, with 70+ families attending each week! 🙌

Although Summer Fun has now finished, our partnership with Fleet Phoenix continues. They provide a range of fantastic services for our younger residents, including:

💬 Open Door Service – one-to-one support for young people aged 15–25
🎮 Junior Youth Club – every other week
🎯 Senior Youth Club – every other week, starting this month

All of these services, along with the Summer Fun programme, are fully funded by Hook Parish Council. More information on these projects can be found on their website https://www.fleetphoenix.co.uk/services

We’re grateful to Fleet Phoenix for their expertise, enthusiasm and commitment to providing these valuable services and support for young people in our community. ❤️

📸 Pictured: The Summer Fun team – Lucy, Charlotte, Jon, Lydia and Annie – alongside Jason and Elanor from the inflatable supplier, who provided an inflatable at every session.

Unfortunately, Charlene and Libby were unable to attend the final session, so they’re not pictured, but they were part of the team who helped make Summer Fun such a success! 👏

Thank you, Fleet Phoenix – we look forward to continuing to work together! 🌟

🪰 How many bugs have you splatted? 🪰

🚗Remember when a long car journey meant arriving with a windscreen covered in squashed bugs? These days, that seems to happen far less often. While a cleaner windscreen might sound like a good thing, it can also be a sign that there are fewer insects around – meaning fewer pollinators and less food for birds, bats and other wildlife.

🐝 Bugs Matter, run by Buglife - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust, is a Citizen Science survey measuring changes in the number of insects each year. In previous years, participants used a paper “Splatometer” – but this year it’s gone digital!

📱 All you need is a car, a journey and a smartphone.

Taking part is easy:

🪰 Clean your vehicle’s number plate before setting off.
🪰 When you reach your destination, count the bug splats across the entire number plate.
🪰 Use the Virtual Splatometer in the Bugs Matter app to take the best photograph you can.
🪰 Submit your photo and journey details through the app.
🪰 You don't even need to be the driver – just make sure you have their permission.
🪰 The app includes a handy tutorial and safety advice.

So, if you're heading out and about this Bank Holiday weekend, why not turn your journey into a mini wildlife survey? 🚗🪰

Help Buglife measure the health of Britain's insects – every splat counts!

The survey runs until 30 September 2026.
