Spaces still available for children to attend summer Holiday Activities and Food sessions

There are still spaces available at holiday clubs across the county on the Shropshire Council-managed summer Shropshire Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme.

Activities include sports, arts, cooking, forest schools and other exciting opportunities, and free nutritious meals will be provided at each session, as well as information to benefit the whole family.

Holiday Activities and Food – summer 2023 booking

Kirstie Hurst-Knight, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for children and education, said:-

“Spaces are still available at some holiday clubs this summer, as part of the Shropshire Holiday Activities and Food programme.

“It’s a fantastic programme this summer, with 57 clubs happening across the county. Children and young people will have a chance to socialise with friends, take part in fun and engaging activities, be active and receive a nutritious and delicious meal. I urge families to be quick and book while spaces are still available.”

Children and young people aged 4 to 16, who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals and for those who meet the wider eligibility criteria, can access free places at the holiday clubs, and places are also available for Ukrainian families currently staying in Shropshire.

Some of the holiday programmes also include paid spaces for children and young people who are not in receipt of free school meals.
