Funded by Essex County Council, Essex ActivAte half term programmes run in February, May and October. Due to smaller half terms only running for a week, delivery partners will offer club sessions for about 2-3 days on average, therefore spaces are limited and provided for those young people most in need.

As the Essex ActivAte half term programmes are funded by Essex County Council, there will be no clubs running across Thurrock.

50% of funded spaces must be allocated to children on income related free school meals, and 50% are or young people from ‘low-income’ working families, may be vulnerable and/or experience inactivity and social isolation without access to this free support.

Please note: Half term programmes are funded by local authorities, and are not a part of the Department for Education’s Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme.
