Easter HAF 2024

Captivating Creativity: Easter HAF Scheme 2024

​We loved working with the young people who attended our Wolverhampton Easter HAF Scheme 2024.
These and many other schemes are funded with thanks to Wolverhampton City Council and Department for Education and are offered under the council’s ‘Yo Wolves’  scheme. This holiday provision is for school aged children from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits-related free school meals.
 
As usual we were blown away by the amazing creations the children made. Here is a snapshot of just a few examples of their work.

Monitoring Data

As we always do, we surveyed the young people at the end of our scheme and we are delighted with the results. 100% said they enjoyed taking part, 100% said that they learnt something new, 100% felt more creative and inspired. We got a 4.88 star rating and 100% of young people said they'd like to come to our sessions in future.

​Here is a link to the full report.
