Essex ActivAte Summer Holiday Programme

Welcome to the Essex ActivAte, summer club Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme across Essex and Thurrock! Our fantastic club providers are offering fun and exciting activity clubs and free spaces to support eligible children and young people aged 4-16 years through primary and secondary clubs, specialist SEND, mental wellbeing and youth clubs. All of our holiday clubs are unique and offer different activities, but may include sports and games, outdoor adventures, inflatables, crafts, dance, baking and so much more! Clubs will also provide nutritious meals and snacks.

  • Children who are eligible or receive pupil premium, benefit based free school meals or income-related benefit households can be booked for free onto our holiday clubs. Although, clubs may offer discretionary paid places and paid for places, so there is something for everyone at an Essex ActivAte club!
  • Children who are eligible or receive pupil premium and benefit based free school meals, will be emailed a HolidayActivities voucher code from hello@holidayactivities, from Monday 14th June by their school, to book free spaces for your child at our holiday clubs. You will receive one code, per child, each main holiday to book.
  • We offer limited spaces for young people who are not eligible for benefits based free school meals, but are from ‘low-income’ working families, may be vulnerable and/or experience inactivity and social isolation without access to this free support. To book your child/ren onto a local club, you will not receive a HolidayActivities voucher code, and you will need to submit a completed referral form from a local service that supports your family or child/ren, or in some instances, you may be able to self refer. See our website for further details.

Who can use this service?

These clubs are suitable for school children who are eligible for benefits based free school meals and from low income working families who benefit from this extra support. To find out if your child/ren are eligible for our programmes, click here
