Easter Holiday Help For Harborough Families Struggling With The Cost of Living
Written by HFM News on 1st April 2022
Food vouchers will be offered during the Easter Holidays to families across Harborough struggling with the soaring cost of living.
Worth £45, they will be provided to parents or carers of youngsters who qualify for free school meals.
They will also be able to access free holiday clubs during the break, as part of the Leicestershire County Council scheme, which is set to help 14,000 families across the county.
The authority is working with Active Together (formerly Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport) to run the Holidays Together Easter 2022 programme.
The scheme offers places to eligible primary and secondary school pupils as part of the Government’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, funded by the Department for Education.
Eligible children (aged four to 16) can access up to four sessions in total during the Easter holidays – free of charge.
Families can sign up for activities by visiting www.leicestershire.gov.uk/HAF
The holiday clubs involve helping young people explore everything from sport to music, dance to drama, art to cooking and even gardening.
Free nutritious meals will also be provided.
A variety of activities are also to be made available this summer (scheme-dependent).
