FREE places are available for children at holiday clubs across Shropshire this summer.

There are free places available on the programme for children and young people aged four to 16, who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals.

There are also a limited number of free places available for children and young people living in areas of high deprivation or from low-income households, who are not in receipt of benefits-related free school meals.

These children and young people can be referred to the programme by a professional. Places are also available for Ukrainian families staying in Shropshire with host families.

From July 25 to September 1, eligible children and young people are invited to take part in a range of fun activities at 57 holiday clubs from across the county.

There is something on offer for everyone including sports, arts, cooking, forest schools and other exciting opportunities. Free nutritious meals will be provided at each session, as well as information to benefit the whole family.

Some of the holiday programmes also include paid spaces for children and young people who are not in receipt of free school meals.
