Children can enjoy free activities and a healthy lunch in Plymouth's parks and green spaces this summer.
The popular Fit and Fed programme brings a day filled with exciting activities to different communities across Plymouth. Hundreds of free healthy lunches will also be available for children, offered on a first come, first served basis. The free ‘on tour’ event is open to all families and is organised by Plymouth Active Leisure and Plymouth City Council with support from Plymouth Argyle Community Trust and St John’s Ambulance.
The range of activities for children to enjoy includes inflatable fun, slime making, scrap art sessions, cycling, mini golf and archery. Lots of local organisations will also be on hand providing games and activities as well as advice and guidance for parents, including the Peninsula Dental School, Plymouth Libraries, Family Hubs and Livewell Southwest.
Fit and Fed is funded by the government’s Holiday Activity and Food Fund and provides free holiday clubs to support families with school aged children, from reception to year 11, who receive benefits-related free school meals.
The Fit and Fed programme is being managed by Plymouth City Council’s Sports Development Unit. Email getactive@plymouthactive.co.uk for any queries.
