Holiday Clubs 2021

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?

Are you giving it a break this year? And we so understand if you are - the last year has been exhausting..

Either way we would love to hear from you, to find out your plans and offer support where we can

Please do email us on the details below

Thank you
