Egg-cellent Ribble Valley HAF programme returns for Easter break

Following on from the outstanding success of the Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF), the Ribble Valley Health and Wellbeing Partnership has decided to launch the scheme during the Easter break.

The programme, which was opened to school children during summer and Christmas school holidays, will take place from Monday, April 4th to Friday, April 8th and is aimed at 5-16 year olds.

The aim of the programme is to provide free holiday provision for children from disadvantaged families.

The young people will be involved in a variety of sporting activities as well as fitness promotion, individual fitness targets, music, dance, sewing, healthy eating and nutrition.
