Holiday programme food and fun

We're providing a varied holiday programme with funding from the Department of Education.

A wide range of providers in Lewisham are supporting the delivery of this programme, offering various fun-packed sessions, including arts and crafts and sports. 

There will be free activities and lunches for children and young people who are: 

  • aged 4 to 16 years (reception to year 11)
  • in receipt of benefit-related Free School Meals

Each club will provide:

  • a wide range of exciting activities to suit different ages and personalities
  • fun physical activity sessions
  • free, nutritious and tasty food

The programme is provided during Easter, summer and Christmas.                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Summer 2023 holiday activities and fun

We’re pleased to announce details of our fun-filled programme for the Summer holidays.

Remember – you need to book your activity in advance. Places are allocated on first-come, first-served basis and are prioritised for children eligible for Free School Meals.
