A free programme of holiday activities funded by the Government and coordinated by West Suffolk Council is being extended once again this Easter to other families in need. It is primarily targeted at families who have children or young people who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals.
West Suffolk Council recognises that there will be other families in financial hardship who are ineligible. It is allowed to use up to 15 per cent of its share of the Government funding to offer free places to families who are in financial hardship but who wouldn’t otherwise qualify. It used this discretion to offer places to families in financial hardship at Christmas and is doing this again for this Easter.
To enquire for these spaces please contact the provider directly.
Spaces for this are limited and will be on a first come first served basis.
If your family is eligible for Free School Meals or you know a family that might benefit from the programme, please take a look at the links below for further information:
