The holiday activity & Food programme across essex

At Camp Epic we work with Active Essex and Essex ActivAte to deliver face to face clubs during the school holidays and half terms. These clubs are FREE for children and young people who’re eligible for benefits based free school meals.

If your child/ren is eligible for benefit based free school meals, you will receive a WONDE e-Voucher by email or text, depending on your contact preferences with your school. Click the link on your e-Voucher to book your child directly onto a local club. If you are still waiting for your e-Voucher, please contact your school.

Between 2019 and 2020 the Active Essex Foundation took action to help young people in Essex stay active and enjoy nutritious food during the school holidays, reaching over 2000 families in Essex most affected by food insecurity. 2021 saw the Department for Education launch their Holiday Activities and Food programme, and Active Essex were chosen to deliver the programme across Essex and Thurrock. The name Essex ActivAte sums up the key elements of the programme – provision of activities and nutritious food for children and young people in Essex.
