Over the Easter, Summer and Winter school breaks Bolton council gives out funding to local children’s and youth groups to run free activities for and feed local children on free schools meals and from low income families.
We are proud to be a regular HAF venue to support our community with Free activities over the holiday periods, EasterZone, SummerZone and WinterZone.
Below are the details from our latest HAF clubs and our next upcoming will be posted as booking opens.
Summerzone 2024
Over the Summer Holidays we hired the Brownlowfold community learning centre in Halliwell and had over 70 young people booked to attend, on average we had 45 young people each day participating in crafts, activities and friendly competitions.
This year we also had a trip to Anderton Centre and Jump xtreme! Plus visits from the Comedy Workshop and wizardry Wonders! The children loved every minute of each activity and we believe this to be one of the best Summerzone’s we’ve had so far.
