Youngsters at a loose end over the upcoming summer holidays can try new activities for free.
Cumbria’s Holiday Activity and Food Programme has hundreds of fun and activities on offer throughout the county during the summer break.
From canoeing to DJing, activities are paid for by the Government’s Holiday Activity and Food Programme; all the activities are free for families whose children receive benefits-related free school meals.
Some activity providers also offer transport from pick up and drop off points across Cumbria. Most activities also have paid-for places available to all children and young people.
Guy Thompson, HAF project officer, said: “We are working with over 80 providers in Cumbria to create opportunities for young people to get involved with new and enriching activities from sport to music, dance, drama, canoeing, cooking and firefighter training, as well as improving socialisation and helping young people to have fun with friends during their summer holidays.
“We believe we have pulled together a fantastic range of activities and there really is something for everyone.”
