Sessions are expected to include 4 hours of enrichment activity and a healthy nutritious meal for the attending child. Activities are to be delivered over the Christmas school holidays for a maximum of 4 days per venue.

If you have been awarded funding via the 12-month award process, then you do not need to make a duplicate application for this. Funding will be awarded to organisations that are not currently in receipt of funding from the 12-month award.
