Our holiday provisions are innovative and highly engaging, designed to deliver enhanced learning and fun through experiential learning.

February Half Term 2023

During February half term young people visited Mayhem Paintball in Essex for the ultimate Airsoft shooting experience, tested their limits during hours of indoor skydiving, indoor skiing and indoor snowboarding in Snozone at Xscape in Milton Keynes and enjoyed the ultimate Go Karting experience at Surbiton Raceway in Worcester Park.

The outdoor experience gave participants the chance to unwind whilst learning to adhere to specific rules and codes of conduct to achieve success. They learnt practice and perseverance whilst developing qualities such as self-control, responsibility, and focus.

As well as many great activities, our half term programme was also focused on providing one to one tutoring and mentoring to young people. Young people received the support they needed, whilst finding out about other services and opportunities that could benefit them.

We look forward to organising even more activities to positively engage our youth. We'd like to thank everyone that supported our February half term programme.
