BH Live launches holiday camps at Bournemouth sports centre

BH Live has launched holiday camps at the Sir David English Sports Centre, Bournemouth. The initiative, supported by BCP Council's Holiday Activities and Food Programme Funding (HAF), aims to get more young people active during school holidays. The camps provide engaging activities and healthy meals for children aged five to 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals. This year, more than 300 funded spaces were created for young people, thanks to continued funding and BH Live's expansion efforts. The holiday camps, delivered by BH Live Active instructors, feature activities including sports and crafts. Morning, afternoon and full-day camps are available. Bobby Cole, group swim and junior activities manager at BH Live, said: "We're incredibly proud to have launched our HAF-funded holiday camps at Sir David English Sports Centre, reaching more families than ever before. "It's a vital initiative and one we're committed to growing year on year." Councillor Herrett, portfolio holder for destination, leisure and commercial operations, said: "The HAF funding continues to be a vital source of support for families across our community, particularly for children in receipt of benefits-related free school meals. "It's a great example of how targeted investment can make a real difference in people's lives."
