McDonald’s has launched signups for thousands of free Fun Football coaching sessions for 5–11-year-olds this winter. Sessions at 184 sites across the UK will give children the opportunity to enjoy the game for free.
New research from McDonald’s shows that 61% of parents are worried about the expense of keeping their child entertained this winter – that figure rising to 79% in London, 75% in South West England and 73% in Northern Ireland.
The research also highlights the measures parents are taking to reduce expenses associated with entertaining the kids. Actively looking for more free family activities topped the list (43%), with 42% also confirming that spending on gifts would be reduced this year. Over a quarter (27%) of parents say they will even have to prioritise one child’s activities over another, to save money.
