BACE Holidays is a project delivered in partnership with Barnet Council and funded by the Department for Education to offer children and young people who currently receive free school meals access to enriching activities and a healthy lunch over the holidays.

​

Space 2 Grow#17 is the second instalment of holiday activity grants to distribute central government funding to Young Barnet Foundation members delivering engaging activities and healthy meals during the Summer and Winter 2021 school holiday periods.

​

£202,262.00 has been awarded to 23 of Young Barnet Foundation members to deliver over 50,000 hours of free activity to children and young people across Barnet this summer. 

​

As a result of this programme children who attend these events will:

• Eat more healthily over the school holidays

• Be more active during the school holidays

• Take part in engaging and enriching activities which support the development of resilience, character and wellbeing along with their wider educational attainment

• Be safe and not to be socially isolated

• Have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition

• Be more engaged with school and other local services

​

We also want to ensure that the families who participate in this programme: 

• Develop their understanding of nutrition and food budgeting

• Are signposted towards other information and support e.g. health

• Employment and education
