Healthy Holidays provides free engaging and enriching activities with a hot and healthy meal for children and young people during the Easter, summer and Christmas holidays.
Activities vary and can include sports and swimming, outdoor activities, dance, arts and crafts, as well as visits to attractions like Temple Newsam and Lotherton Hall.
The scheme is available for primary and secondary school aged children and young people in receipt of free school meals.
Funded through the
Department for Education's Holiday activities and food (HAF) programme

How to take part
Any primary and secondary school aged children who are eligible for free school meals can take part.
