Essex ActivAte - Holiday and Food Programme

Active Essex manage the ActivAte Holiday and Food clubs for children across Essex and Thurrock. Holiday Clubs are FREE for primary and secondary aged children who are eligible for benefits based free school meals, as well as those from low income working families. We may also extend this support to children/young people who may be vulnerable to inactivity or social isolation, on a case by case basis. Please speak to the club provider.

To book onto a local club, visit the Essex ActivAte website to find out how to book your child onto a club, who is eligible and what activities are on offer.  These clubs are funded by Essex County Council, Department of Education and Basildon Council.
