Easter holiday fun has landed for children eligible for free school meals in Wythenshawe thanks to free activity sessions.
As part of the national Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, Forum Leisure – managed by Everyone Active in partnership with Wythenshawe Trust – will offer a host of free activities, all accompanied by free lunches.
Activities over the Easter holidays include swim pool play sessions and sports hall activities for youngsters aged between eight and 16 years all run by Everyone Active activity leaders.
The swimming sessions on offer will help children build confidence in the water and improve their swimming skills.
Sports hall activities include badminton, hockey, dodge ball and obstacle courses, giving children an opportunity to take part in a variety of team-based games while boosting social interaction.
Every session will include a free nutritious and balanced lunchtime meal from the facility café before children attend the library as part of the sessions.
Phil Bowers, contract manager at Everyone Active, said: “We’re always proud to be a part of the national HAF programme and enable children of all ages to keep active over the Spring holiday season, no matter their financial circumstances.
“We encourage children and parents children from across Wythenshawe to join us for a brilliant programme of activities which are ideal to keep young people moving and socialising all while having action-packed fun learning new sports.”
Swim pool play sessions will take place on Monday 30 March and Monday 6 April at 11am to 12pm.
Sports hall activities will run on Wednesday 1 March and Wednesday 8 April at 11am to 12pm.
