This year’s Fun Day forms part of Foundation of Light’s 25th birthday celebrations and it means there will be more activities than ever before when the day returns on Thursday, August 13.
There’s a whole host of activities taking place, from football activities and multi-sports to an activity trail with a chance to win prizes.
