100 projects to make it a summer of fun for city
Around 100 different projects which will help keep children and young people fit, healthy and happy throughout this summer are taking place across Swansea.
Thanks to funding from the Welsh Government, this year's Summer of Fun in the city will have exciting activities for everyone. The Summer of Fun programme runs from July until the end of September.
The initiatives include sports, arts, crafts and environmental projects, along with support for young people who suffer with anxiety and mental health, as well as baby classes which parents and carers can attend.

Swansea Council's Cabinet Member for Community Support, Hayley Gwilliam, said: "This is the second year that the Welsh Government is funding the Summer of Fun initiative and I'm very grateful that Swansea has been awarded in excess of £400,000 for this year.
"Community groups, sports clubs and other organisations were invited to apply for help to put on activities and around a hundred different projects in Swansea have secured funding.
"It's been great to see the range of imaginative ideas and opportunities coming forward for children and young people to enjoy themselves.
"I'm sure that once again there will be a huge take-up of places and I'm looking forward to hearing about the enjoyment this brings to thousands of children and young people in Swansea this summer."
Deputy Minister for Social Services, Julie Morgan, said: "It's great to see the Summer of Fun having such a positive impact in local communities.
"Providing children and young people with opportunities to mix through the summer holiday can help their wellbeing and boost their emotional and physical health.
"This year, we will also be helping providers to offer food at their activities, targeting issues around holiday hunger and supporting families with the very real the cost-of-living crisis."
