Thousands of children and families across Newcastle will be provided with extra support over the Easter holidays. Vouchers will be issued by local schools and colleges to more than 16,000 eligible children.
Children eligible for benefit-related free school meals and those in need can enjoy two weeks of exciting activities and a nutritious meal. The scheme is supported by “The Best Spring Ever” campaign, which sees more than 80 community venues and projects provide for the children and families that need it most.
The scheme provides healthy and nutritious meals, fun physical activities, and places to be social and feel safe, with opportunities for engaging and enriching activities.
