Cheshire East Council has teamed up with local schools, childcare and holiday club providers and community and voluntary organisations to provide free fun activities during the winter holidays. The activities are available across Cheshire East for children and young people who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals. The holiday clubs will enable children and young people to enjoy fun activities with friends, whilst learning and developing new skills.
Cheshire East providers have received grant funding as part of the government’s Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme. This funding supports providers to offer healthy food and physically healthy and enriching activities for children and young people during the winter holidays. A variety of activities are available across Cheshire East and include sports sessions, arts and crafts, baking, games, drama, exciting trips out and much more!
It’s easy to book on a winter activity session! All you need to do is visit the Cheshire East Family Information Service website. You then need to look through the activities available and once you have picked an activity you like, contact the provider via the details provided on the website. The page is updated regularly with new exciting activities!
For further information you can visit the Cheshire East Holiday Activity Fund website.
