BACKGROUND

School holidays can be particular pressure points
for some families because of increased costs (such
as food and childcare) and reduced incomes.
Therefore families on low incomes are:

-   less likely to access organised out-of-school
    activities;
-   more likely to experience ‘unhealthy holidays’ in
    terms of nutrition and physical health;
-   and more likely to experience social isolation.

FUNDING AND SCOPE
The Government’s intention to ensure
disadvantaged children continue to get access to a
daily nutritious meal and enriching activities, has led
to a national £220 million Holiday Activity and Food
programme funded through the Department for
Education.

Surrey County Council will receive £1.9 million

Club4 – fun, friends, food, fitness is Surrey’s Holiday
Activity and Food Programme

Looking to provide over 4000 opportunities per day
across the County throughout the
Summer

THE PROGRAMME
To support children and young people:

•   to eat more healthily over the school holidays;
•   to be more active during the school holidays;
•   to take part in engaging and enriching activities which
    support the development of resilience, character and
    wellbeing along with their wider educational
    attainment;
•   to be safe and not to be socially isolated;
•   to have greater knowledge of health and nutrition; and
•   to be more engaged with school and other local
    services.
