Easter 2021 Holiday Activities Programme

The programme is available for:

• All children who are eligible for free school meals ages  5 - 16 years 

• young carers aged 5 to 16 who live in Walsall

If you are not sure if your child can access the programme, please email WR4C@walsall.gov.uk 

Eligible children who do not live in Walsall will be able to access the activity programme in their home local authority.

Please contact your local council to find out what they can offer. 

You should have received a postcard  in the post. 

Your child’s unique registration code is printed under the 'How to book' heading. You'll need this code to to access the programme.

If you haven’t received a postcard but think your child is eligible, please contact us by email.

You'll need to tell us your child’s name and their date of birth and address, then we can give you a code.

We use a central registration process to make it easier for you to book your child onto activities. This means you only have to provide your information once.

We need to share your child's information with the provider of any activities that your child takes part in as well as for the delivery of any healthy recipe boxes. This is to make sure that the provider can effectively deliver their activities as part of the Holiday Activity Food programme.

Once you have registered your child we will only share your child’s personal information with the providers who deliver activities as part of the holiday programme, and only for the purpose of delivering the programme.

We will send the activity programme to you on 19 March 2021. You can book online from Monday 22 March 2021. 

You will be able to book your child on as many activities as you want (subject to availability) and select your food box.

Face-to-face activities will only be available to children who have no access to the internet. Our holiday activities team will deliver these activities. If you would like to discuss our face-to-face provision, contact the helpline on 01922 653899 or contact us by email.

All activities will be delivered throughout the Easter holiday from Tuesday 6 April until Friday 16 April 2021.

We are allowed to hold information about children and families as part of our duty to support families under the General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018.

The law says we must:

• only hold information that we need for the delivery of the programme
• only use the information for that reason
