5th Aug 2023 | Local News
Amid the cost of living crisis, and every parents dreaded task of finding things to do during the summer holidays, comes a FREE brand new solution.
Registered charity Everybody Health and Leisure [Everybody] are delighted to launch a funded gym and swim membership for young people aged 14 – 16 years in receipt of benefits-related free school meals.
The Sandbach Leisure Centre service-providers are providing kids and teens free access until next month, when they go back to school.
The memberships, which are being funded by Cheshire East Council as part of the Department for Education holiday activity and food programme (HAF) will provide free, unlimited access to Everybody's gyms and swimming pools at 14 of their leisure centres across Cheshire East, during 1st August – 3rd September 2023.
The HAF programme provides free activities during the main school holidays to children and young people in receipt of benefit-related free school meals, funded by the Department for Education as part of the government's HAF programme being delivered across Cheshire East.
Kerry Shea, Director of Health & Communities and Deputy CEO at Everybody Health & Leisure shares
"We are so grateful to receive this funding from Cheshire East Council, so that we can offer this valuable service to 14 – 16-year-olds in our communities. Teenagers often fall through the gaps of funded holiday provision, and this is a brilliant initiative to make sure that we can support these young people to be more physically active throughout the summer."
Douglas Hubbert, Project Manager at Cheshire East Council said: "We are really pleased to have Everybody Health & Leisure onboard again, they have been a vital partner in the delivery of HAF programmes, extending their 14-16 year old offer has greatly enhanced the programme and will help us to support a group which is often hard to reach".
