Children and young people on the Island are in for a treat with a diverse range of free activities, courtesy of the IW Council’s holiday activities and food (HAF) programme.
Organisations across the Island are teaming up to offer a selection of activities for children aged five to 16 over the Easter school holidays.
The initiative, which also includes a nutritious meal, aims to provide enriching experiences and support for families during the school break.
Free places are available for children and young people who receive benefits-related free school meals, with additional paid options also available. Some spaces are also reserved for other vulnerable families.
With limited spaces, families are encouraged to book early to avoid disappointment and ensure their youngsters don’t miss out on the fun.
The Easter programme offers a fantastic selection of activities, including horse-riding, football coaching, multi-sport games, animal care, theatre skills, and arts and crafts. For full details and booking information, visit iw.observer/familyinfohub.
Further information about eligibility can be found on the council’s updated holiday activities webpages.
