· The playscheme in Goole will be targeted at families requiring reliable, quality, secure provision for 30 children aged 7 – 11 from 29 July 2024 – 24 August 2024 from 9 am – 3 pm.

· There is a need across the region for provision that is reasonably priced for families who would otherwise not be able to afford summer childcare.

· Lunches will supplied for children in receipt of free school meals; breakfast and snacks for all children.

· Sessional, qualified staff will deliver a structured programme around the environment, health and well-being and life skills (team building, confidence, leadership skills etc)

· An innovative programme will be put in place to enable children to engage, learn new skills, make friends, and have fun in an outside environment which is good for their mental and physical health, resilience etc.
