Essex ActivAte is a free holiday program for school-aged children in Essex, England. The program is run by Active Essex, Essex County Council, and Thurrock Council. It aims to support the physical and mental health of children through activities, meals, and family support.
Funded through the Department for Education and Essex County Council to provide free places for school age children who are eligible for benefits based free school meals. You will be asked to provide a Wonde Evoucher when you book, you should have received a unique code via your school (this may come in the form of a email or text).
Support is also extended to a number of other low income families and young people who may otherwise experience inactivity or social isolation without access to this free support. This is decided on a case by case basis so please speak to the organisation running the club you are interested in to discuss if this is an option for you.
Booking for SEND Hubs and Secondary Clubs is available as a link from the central booking page. A free, nutritious meal is provided to all children attending these clubs. For more information and meal plans please contact the club directly. If you have any queries you can read through the FAQs on the central booking page, or message on Facebook.
