Holidays Together

Did you know that children and young people who are receiving free school meals can take part in free holiday clubs this year?

Leicestershire Holidays Together is a free and exciting Department for Education-funded holiday programme for school-aged children and young people who are:

• attending Reception to year 11 (inclusive)
• receiving benefits-related free school meals

and

• living in Leicestershire.

If your child meets these criteria, and Leicestershire County Council are able to get confirmation from your child's school or the relevant local authority that they receive benefits-related free school meals, then they will be able to confirm eligibility for a Holidays Together place.

Leicestershire County Council are working with us here at Active Together to co-ordinate the 2023 programme, which will be delivered at venues across the county by schools, voluntary and community organisations, childcare providers and sports clubs.

Holidays Together sessions will be delivered at venues across Leicestershire and will offer a variety of fun activities, including sports, music, arts, and other opportunities to learn and develop new skills, alongside a nutritious meal each day.

If you feel you are eligible for benefits related free school meals, please apply before completing the eligibility check by following the link who can get free school meals and how to apply.

Eligible children and young people can access a maximum of 4 Holidays Together sessions during the 2023 Easter holidays, free of charge.
