The Council wishes to engage with multiple Providers that can undertake the following in the Easter holidays 2024.

This project is to be funded by The Department for Education however the Council is still awaiting confirmation for 2024 therefore this opportunity is subject to receiving DfE grant confirmation.

All providers will need to meet DfE framework of standards as below:
• Food Provision
• Enrichment Activities
• Physical Activities
• Increasing Awareness of Healthy Eating, healthy lifestyles, and positive behaviours

Please note, sessions do not need to be exclusively for children in receipt benefits-related Free School Meals, however the DfE funded element of Fun and Food will only fund children in receipt of benefits-related Free School Meals.
