Children in Devon aged five to 16-years-old who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals are invited to take part in Devon County Councils action-packed Holiday Activities and Food programme this festive season
The Council have teamed up with over 60 different providers across Devon to offer a great range of free physical activities and healthy, nutritional, hot meals during the school holidays to children of low-income families.
For four days over the upcoming Christmas holidays, hundreds of children from across the county can enjoy a wide range of activities, from cooking and craft, sports and coaching, outdoor and forest play, music and dance and more. All clubs will be operating for a minimum of four hours and will include a hot meal. Some schemes are also providing Christmas hampers for families.
Bookings are now open, and details of activities can be found on the interactive map. If your child is eligible to access the programme, simply search for a provider in your area, have a look at their listing to see what they’re offering, then when you’re ready, book a place with them directly.
