The Summerzone’ is an innovative project for children aged 5-18 that we have run for 19 years and is one of our most popular annual events. Designed to run during the school holidays, it would be ideal for children from families with low incomes from Halliwell and surrounding areas.
Our Summerzone has been really popular this year. We have three more volunteers and every young person is receiving a packed lunch. Fun and games start as soon as the children walk in, and keep going until home time. Many parents ask “how on earth do we cope?” But here at Harmony we have over 20 years experience with young people and we love what we do!
Harmony, as many other charities and business’s in the UK almost closed our doors due to the Government lockdowns, in fact, we had two lockdowns here in Bolton, so we are proud that we managed to ride through this bad time and survive to serve our community after 20 years and we hope to keep serving for the next 20 years.
Summerzone is a fun and exciting time for children to mix with others, be part of groups working together and learn new skills, we have noticed this year more participants from minority sectors which is great to see, and although it means more work, we are always happy to supply vegetarian meals to suit any religious requirements.
When you see these children together, it shows what a great community we have and the diversity of all as one main unit.
