Happy, healthy & active holiday sessions are back
Happy, healthy & active holiday sessions are back for Easter, with hundreds of free places available for eligible children and young people up for grabs.
The sessions, coordinated by Telford & Wrekin Council, are funded through the Department for Education’s HAF (Holiday, activities and food) programme.
More than 100 sessions are planned and include Easter egg hunting, craft sessions, robotics and coding, football camps, sports sessions, forest fun, art sessions and much more.
Sessions will run from Saturday 12 April to Sunday 27 April and can be booked now via https://hhah.telford.gov.uk/
The sessions are open to all children in reception up to year 11 who receive benefits related free school meals. Each child is eligible for two full day activities or four half day activities.
Many of the sessions are accessible and also suitable for SEND children and young people.
A free meal is provided for every child at each session.
Councillor Shirley Reynolds, Telford & Wrekin Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Young People, Education, Employment and Skills, said:
“We’ve got a jam-packed programme of sessions planned for the Easter holidays to keep eligible children and young people busy and active.
“Thanks to all the organisations who are once again supporting the programme and putting on a fantastic range of fun activities.
“When we last held sessions over the Christmas period, hundreds of children and young people took part in activities. We hope the Easter sessions prove as popular.
“I’d also like to remind families across the Borough that the Easter holidays are a great time to take part in a 10 by 10 activity, whether it’s learning to ride a bike, use a library or visit the countryside.”
