Jubilee celebrations ideas
25/03/2022
25/03/2022 1 1
The Queens Platinum Jubilee is a once in a lifetime celebration event for us and our young people.
Bucks is working towards enabling all of our residents, schools and community groups to celebrate how they like. We have had a particular focus in
supporting The Queen’s Green Canopy tree planting initiative so there is environmental influence in some of the activities we have been looking at.
In this pack we have provided some suggestions of projects/activities you may want to take up in your home as a family or with friends and neighbours.
They aim to be low cost and engaging. They are entirely adaptable to how you would like to approach them. Whatever you do, we would just love to
hear about your Jubilee activity on social media @BucksCouncil or e-mail PlatinumJubilee-activities@buckinghamshire.gov.uk
By submitting images and/or recordings to Buckinghamshire Council, you are giving consent that they can be published on social media channels and in
the media. Please complete this Consent Form to confirm parents/guardians have given permission.
Please note we have sent these packs directly to schools and care homes in the area to encourage inter-generational opportunities, and these versions
have specific adjustments to be suitable for their settings.
These activities should be ones for the books so future generations can look back at how Buckinghamshire celebrated this key milestone of our monarchs
reign.
Thank you,
Buckinghamshire Council’s Jubilee Project Team
