Children across North Tyneside are invited to take advantage of a free programme of activities, created to help them be healthy and active while off school.
‘ease INTO’ is a programme that’s been created as part of the Holiday Activities and Food programme backed by the Department for Education.
Children who are eligible for income based free school meals can access the wide range of activities, all of which include a meal. For children who are not eligible for income based free school meals, paid-for spaces are available.
There are different programmes for the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays with activities such as trampolining, swimming, cooking classes and sport.
It’s the perfect opportunity for children to try new activities and find new hobbies and interests, as well as explore new flavours and foods with healthy meals and snacks; so parents can buy with confidence in future knowing the smaller members of the family are on board!
'ease INTO' supports families during the school holidays when keeping children and young people entertained, getting them moving, and planning three meals a day can bring added pressure, financially and otherwise.
The activities will engage, entertain, and enrich young people’s lives during their time off school, encouraging them to develop a lasting interest in new sports and activities, and supporting a nutritionally balanced diet.
