At Furrowfield School, we are pleased to share information about Brighten the Day, Gateshead's Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. This programme provides eligible children and young people with access to free holiday activities, exciting experiences and healthy meals during school holiday periods.
The programme offers a wide range of activities designed to help children stay active, build confidence, develop new skills and make friends in a safe and supportive environment. Sessions take place at a variety of venues across Gateshead and cater for different ages and interests.
In addition to organised holiday activities, families can access ideas and inspiration for:
- Arts and crafts activities
- Outdoor adventures and nature-based learning
- Healthy cooking and food preparation
- Local leisure opportunities for children and young people
Brighten the Day aims to support children's physical health, emotional wellbeing and social development by providing enjoyable and engaging opportunities throughout the school holidays.
