We are pleased to be able to share with you the upcoming winter/Christmas holiday provision available to children and young people who are eligible for benefit related Free School Meals in term time.

There are 20 holiday clubs in total – 9 in Torquay, 9 in Paignton and 2 in Brixham. All spaces are available for a maximum of 4 days over the holiday period, but because the holidays fall in a funny way this year, as you will be aware, there aren’t many available days to run holiday clubs so several of our providers are offering two days of face to face holiday clubs, and a remote offer for two days which will include an activity pack and hamper/food pack for children to take home following attendance at a holiday club. Spaces are also available to those who are Electively Home Educated.

The ‘Healthy Holidays’ activities commissioned for the Christmas period can be found via the Healthy Holidays page of the Torbay Council website Holiday Activity and Food Programme - Torbay Council or https://www.torbay.gov.uk/children-and-families/early-years/healthy-holidays/

The information outlines what is being offered in each town, who will be delivering this, the times and dates of the activities, and the instructions for parents/carers on how to book places.

Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and a healthy and prosperous 2025!

Thank you 😊

Torbay Council
