Thanks to funding from Chorley Council, we’re able to offer a limited number of FREE places at our October Holiday Camp for eligible children.
If your child usually receives a funded HAF place during the school holidays, you may be eligible for one of these places.
As part of the booking process, we’ll ask for your child’s HAF code and a small amount of additional information to confirm eligibility.
Funded places are limited and subject to availability, but don’t worry if you’re not eligible, places can also be booked for £21.50 per child, per day.
