Free Christmas activities with Active Hastings

This Christmas Active Hastings are offering free activities and food as part of their Christmas Activities and Food Programme.

The free multi-sports, arts and craft sessions take place on Monday 19 December at Broomgrove Community Centre and Tuesday 20 December at Hollington Youth Centre. The sessions are for young people (7-16 year olds) in receipt of benefit-related free school meals.

Councillor Andy Batsford, lead councillor for Health and Culture at Hastings Borough Council, said: "Our Christmas Holidays Activities and Food programme is a great way for children to stay active and healthy over the Christmas period, whilst enjoying a nutritious lunch. The Christmas sessions are part of the Government's Holiday Activities and Food programme, which enables children to enjoy free fun activities, make new friends and learn and develop new skills."

Spaces are limited to 25 young people per session, so book early to avoid disappointment. You can book your space and free meal by visiting: eequ.org/activehastings
 
Active Hastings is hosted by Hastings Borough Council, in partnership with East Sussex County Council, and brings together a wide range of local and national partners to ensure that everyone in Hastings can get active. There are a range of exercise classes to suit everyone, visit Active Hastings for the list of activities happening near you.
