Holiday Clubs 2021
The hunger children experience in school holidays can be reduced by developing Holiday Clubs for your community
It has now been recognised, locally and nationally, that the school holidays can add extra pressure on family budgets. For the last four years we have been Filling the Holiday Gap by providing Fun, Food and Friendship for children and families during this time.
These activities have taken many different forms and developed into fantastic community events. From drama in tents, crafts in the church hall and trips to the seaside, there is always much laughter and yummy food.
If you are thinking about what you are going to do for Summer 2021 in regard to Holiday Clubs and provision,
We would love to hear from you!
Are you planning food provision? or Activities? or both? How long for over the summer?
