Holiday Project

Holiday Project includes a rich and varied programme of recreational, leisure and arts activities that give teenagers the chance to enrich and extend their experience—developing a sense of community, belonging and independence that lasts far beyond the school holidays.

A chance for you to take a break

Another important element of the Holiday Project is that its benefits reach far further than the youngsters joining us and having fun. It offers families short breaks from their roles as carers – allowing parents and carers valuable time to spend with siblings, or simply the chance for some vital “me-time”

MORE THAN SCHOOL HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES

Holiday Projects offers highly skilled staff and opportunities to help young people with learning disabilities.
For the participants themselves, this isn’t about wanting the extraordinary. It’s about living an ordinary teenage life. We offer that and more!
