Many young people have faced challenges with their learning, progress, behaviour, development and wellbeing these past 12 months. We are supporting their active recovery with resources and support for Holiday Food and Activity Projects and schools’ sustained support for young people into next academic year.

Children that receive free school meals often don’t get access to good food or physical activity during the holiday periods. Following the coronavirus pandemic this has been exacerbated by feelings of loneliness, anxiety, a digital divide and a lack of toys and play in the home.

We have created a range of packages for Local Authorities for the Summer and Christmas holidays to help overcome these challenges, helping with their resilience and mental health, building a sense of belonging as well as keeping them active and eating well at home. These packages include face-to-face delivery through our world class athlete mentors and activity packs and equipment to support being active and living well at home.
