There are fun activities, healthy meals, chance to meet new people and learn new skills!
The programme can include children who don't get benefits related free school meals. This could be because they are vulnerable in other ways such as having SEND or have a social worker. Families will be asked about this when they register on the booking system. The system gives some options which you can select.
