SUMMER KIDZ: Kids eat FREE at Summer Holiday Clubs: Cotmanhay Pavilion: Thursdays: 30th July to 27th August

Fun will be the order of the day during the summer holidays in Cotmanhay.

The ‘It’s About Me’ holiday activity sessions will also include free meals for children eligible for free school dinners.

Teen Holiday Activity and Food Clubs for Students aged 10 to 16, will be held at Cotmanhay Pavilion in Shirebrook Close on Thursdays from 30th July to 27th August.

The clubs run from 5pm until 7pm and offer lots to do each week with sports on the outdoor court, youth club activities, food inside the community room and space to chill out and socialise.

The fun days are part of a county-wide initiative called ‘It’s About Me’, which gets funding from the Department for Education.

Families need to book in advance to enrol children using a code available from school offices. Availability is limited so make sure to book as soon as you are able by clicking here.

Councillor Becca Everett, Lead Member for Community Engagement said: “Running these popular holiday clubs each year is something we’re proud of at the council. We’re glad that families in our community find these sessions beneficial, and it’s wonderful to know that children have a place to enjoy a free healthy lunch and have fun with activities that support their wellbeing over the break. Trinity Methodist Church’s free weekly lunches are an incredible initiative as well, and we’re delighted to support the project.”
