Free holiday time activities and meals this Easter

Hundreds of children across Devon began an action-packed Easter holiday this week, as part of our Holiday Activities and Food programme.

School holidays can be difficult for some families, with the added cost of extra food and reduced incomes. So, the government has provided funding for us to coordinate free activities and healthy meals with local providers for children in Devon aged five to 16 years old, who are eligible for benefit-related free school meals. 

Activities include a range of sports and coaching opportunities; indoor and outdoor play activities; outings to local parks and beaches; magic and circus skills; arts and crafts; music; cooking; theatre workshops; yoga and mindfulness, and a lot more. They're free, and all come with a healthy meal provided.

For more information about the programme, eligibility, and details of what, where and when the activities are, visit our Holiday Activities and Food Programme webpage, or Facebook page.
