FREE activities are available this summer for children and young people eligible for free school meals in Stratford district.
As part of the national Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, Stratford Leisure Centre and The Greig Leisure Centre in Alcester – managed by Everyone Active in partnership with Stratford District Council – will host an array of free activities, all accompanied by free lunches.
Activities over the summer holidays include TagActive at Stratford Leisure Centre and junior gym sessions at The Greig Leisure Centre – both of which are designed to appeal to different age groups and interests.
TagActive is an interactive indoor obstacle course that tests strategy, speed, agility and bravery, all while promoting fun, fitness and competition. Meanwhile, the junior gym sessions will help promote social, mental and physical activity for younger members.
Family swimming sessions at Stratford Leisure Centre, Studley Leisure Centre, Southam Leisure Centre and Shipston Leisure Centre will also be on offer as part of the programme.
Every session will include a free nutritious and balanced lunchtime meal.
SDC neighbourhood services spokesperson Coun Lorraine Grocott said: “We understand that school holidays can bring added financial pressure for some families, especially over the long summer break.
“Providing these free holiday activity programmes can help lessen the burden, while offering children and young people the chance to enjoy an activity at their local leisure centre. If your child is eligible, I strongly encourage families to book early to avoid missing out.”
