HOLIDAY CLUBS IN DERBYSHIRE

13th of March, 2025

Did you know that as well as free school meals during term time, your child can also benefit from Department for Education-funded spaces at holiday clubs in your local area?

Thanks to the Holiday Activity and Food Programme, known in Derbyshire as ‘It’s About Me’, your child can experience holiday clubs filled with fun, learning and healthy meals at no cost to you!

If your child is aged between 4-16 years old* and is eligible to receive benefits-related free school meals, they’re entitled to access It’s About Me holiday clubs.

With a wide range of activities such as sports, arts and crafts, cooking, dance, music and more, there’s something for everyone! Plus, every session includes a nutritious meal to keep them energised and happy throughout the day.

Each club offers a unique programme depending on its location and type— there’s so much to explore! Not eligible? Many clubs also offer paid places, so every child has the chance to join the fun.
