What do clubs offer?
All of our holiday clubs run Monday to Friday (unless specified) and 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, as well as offer food education, helping to enhance young peoples skills.
Can Essex ActivAte clubs support me?
Children and young people who are eligible or receive pupil premium, benefit based free school meals or income-related benefits 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!
How do I book onto a club?
Families who are eligible for pupil premium or income related free school meals, will be emailed a HolidayActivities voucher code from hello@holidayactivities by their school, to book free spaces for child/ren at our holiday clubs.
Codes are emailed or text to parents/carers around four weeks before clubs go live to book, check out our social media pages to know when they will be sent out.
Families will receive one code, per child, each main holiday to book. If you are still waiting for a voucher code, please contact your school who should be able to provide this for you.
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. We strongly recommend that all referral partners check our website and work alongside local club providers to ensure they can support the needs of any child being referred.
Please email [email protected] for a referral form, and all referrals will be assessed on a case by case basis.
