Sandwell Holiday Activities
Sandwell holiday activities invites all children and young people that live or go to school in the borough to join in activities during Easter, summer and winter holidays. Your child can get involved in enriching activities, create the best experiences and grow in confidence. We welcome you and your family to come and have fun, make new friends, try new things, learn new skills and make happy memories! There is so much to choose from during school holidays. We really do offer something for everyone.
Sandwell Holiday Activities believes that activities should be local and easy to get to, so they are working hard to ensure they have activities in each town, including Oldbury, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich, that offers plenty of holiday activities that your whole family will love!
Who can join?
Any child who lives or goes to school in Sandwell up to the age of 16 (or 25 with SEND) can join and book activities. Activities are predominantly for children between 5 to 16 years. However, Sandwell Holiday Activities have several family activities where little ones are welcome.
Some activities are free for everyone, and some ask for a contribution. Sandwell Holiday Activities also offer free activities and food that support families in receipt of benefit-related free school meals. All their activities are designed to give quality experiences where caregivers assure they are getting great value.
How does it work?
If your child receives benefit related free school meals or has an EHCP, are Looked After or have No Recourse to Public Funding they will be issued a HAF code through Evouchers (a similar way to how you receive the food voucher codes during holidays) You will need your child’s Unique HAF code to book activities, you will receive 4 credits per child for Easter activities.
