Funded by the Department for Education, 'Happy Healthy Holidays' provides a great opportunity for local children and young people who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals to do something exciting in the school holidays and meet new friends. The sessions include a variety of fun activities alongside a nutritious meal each day at no cost to you.
The programme includes specific provisions available for children with SEND or additional needs.

The vouchers will be issued by your child’s school and sent to the contact phone number or email account held by them. This will only be used for holiday e-vouchers.
