Don’t miss out on free activities for children this summer.
The Isle of Wight Council is reminding parents that some free spaces are still available for children on several activities and food schemes being run this summer holiday.
A wide range of activities are on offer for all ages — from dance and theatre workshops to sports and outdoor programmes — which also provide a nutritious meal.
There are places available on a paid-for basis as well as some free access for children who receive benefits-related free school meals — but spaces are going quickly!
The Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme is funded by the Department for Education.
The aim is to make free places available to eligible children for the equivalent of at least four hours a day, four days a week and for six weeks a year. This would cover four weeks in the summer and a week’s worth of provision in the 2021 Easter and Christmas holidays.
