Welcome to Holiday food and fun
FREE for children on benefit-related free school meals ...
A range of activities and food is available during school holidays at our Holiday food and fun clubs. It’s a great opportunity for children and young people to enjoy a range of fun things to do.
Six weeks of food and fun!
For six weeks during school holidays throughout the year (Easter, summer and Christmas) local clubs will be serving up a menu of activities for children and young people of all ages, plus there’s food to enjoy too.
Activities may include sports, games, arts, crafts, music, and nature although these will differ from club to club.
Many clubs will be encouraging parents to join in with food preparation. It’s a chance to get involved and learn a new skill.
