Our organisation has delivered funded projects to communities in North Halifax, Calderdale and in Horsforth Leeds. We delivered holiday clubs in Ovenden and Illingworth in North Halifax and these are provided as part of the Government's Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. The free places are funded by the Department for Education (DfE). Within these clubs we ensure that children have access to a hot healthy meal a day as well as breakfast cereals or toast, fresh fruit and water.In total we have provided 1,440 funded places to children accessing free school meals or have an identified area of need. In accessing these places children have the opportunity to access an enriching timetable of activities that include dance, drama sessions, forest school opportunities, photography, arts and crafts, multi sports and bikability sessions. The impact of these holiday clubs ensures that children have a hot meal each day, they are in a safe environment, have opportunities to participate in activities that may not be financially possibly, take part in a minimum of 45 minutes physical exercise a day, return to school with a smoother transition due to being kept in a structured routine. In December 2022 we were able to take 80 children to the local pantomime in Halifax. For some children this was the first time they had travelled on a coach and also been to a theatre to watch a pantomime. The feedback from families was that this experience for their children would not have been possible without the funded holiday club we delivered. We also delivered a 12 week after school enrichment club called ‘Stricty, Come Dine with Me’. This club offered 20 places per week for 1.5 hrs after school for children aged 5 to 11 years to take part in a dance class led by an experienced and qualified dance instructor.Within the after school provision children took part in a performing arts session lead by a qualified and experienced coach followed by a nutrition session and cooking activity. The performing arts sessions included learning different dance routine, styles and new skills within a group setting for 1 hour each week. Children learnt new individual skills and also performed within a group with other children. Fresh fruit snacks were offered to the children in the break session. Following the break the children enjoyed a What’s In The Bag session. In this session each child was given a bag to take home, which contained the ingredients, a recipe and the costings of this meal. Within the session children had to take all the ingredients out from the bag and then guess what meal it could make. Next we looked at the ingredients and had to put them into the right food groups. Children were then encouraged to discuss what that food group brought to our bodies such as meat = protein and why our bodies need that to grow and develop. We carried out this activity weekly to help embed the learning of nutrition and food groups. We used the eat well plate as a visual to help children identify the food groups. Children were then encouraged to make the meal with their families to enjoy together. Parents/carers were asked to forward photo's and feedback on the meal. The following week children were invited to share their story about cooking the meal and would rate the taste of the meal out of 10. As children began to grow in confidence they started to bring in recipes that they had sourced at home and share them with the group. On a few occasions children decided what meals we were going to make such as the chicken enchilada meal and a curry. Within this planning they had to decide which healthy ingredients we were going to use. Parents were invited to the final session to sit and prepare the meal with their children. Within this activity children worked together in their family groups sharing their knowledge on nutrition, healthy eating, the eat well plate and food groups. They also learnt new skills such as cutting with a small knife, peeling and preparing a meal. Where children were absent from the session a food bag was sent home via school or family friend so the child/family didn't miss out.The Horsforth Dance Fest 22 delivered by Northern Arts Factory was a project supported by Nurturing Creativity CIC. Our role was to project manage the show day which included all health and safety requirements, supporting the children backstage and working alongside the coaches and school staff in delivery of the show. This project involved 8 schools in Horsforth to have the opportunity to work with a performing arts coach in school for 18 weeks. This offered 1080 children the chance to have access to high quality arts provision within school and also 120 children a place in an after school enrichment club which gave children the opportunity to learn a dance routine and perform to an audience of over 300 people at Yeadon Town Hall. The children involved experienced sessions that build their confidence, empowered them to believe in themselves, built skills and ignited their imagination. They had the full theatre experience from taking part in rehearsals, wearing costumes, backstage experience, on stage dress rehearsal, performing with other children and being part of the finale. Children will experience and benefit from the power of creativity. The impact of this opportunity has seen children seek out dance and drama classes outside of school and develop an interest in the arts. It has also seen over 50% of schools involved subscribe and contribute to the cost of being part of Dance Fest 23 helping to make this opportunity an annual occurrence.
PART 2 – CONSULTATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS – Please indicate who the company’s stakeholders are; how the stakeholders have been consulted and what action, if any, has the company taken in response to feedback from its consultations? If there has been no consultation, this should be made clear.Stakeholders – parents, school partnersAt each project we run families are encouraged to give feedback on our provision and the impact it has had on their family. We use these evaluations to help plan for the next project. Below is some of the feedback from our HAF holiday clubs that we have delivered.Feedback from families details the impact these session are having –My son is absolutely loving it and is excited for tomorrow. It is nice to see him with some enthusiasm for something other than a games console. Fantastic! My son has come home everyday telling me about the activities they have done and how much he has enjoyed them, especially the outdoor activities. Staff are always so friendly and full of smiles. I enjoyed the talk about nutrition at school - some interesting information. As a family we loved the 'Dish it Up' box (and did this at home). My son was engaged and enthusiastic about making the meal.Personally I think the club is fantastic!My daughter absolutely loves coming. She enjoys taking part in the many available activities.I am really grateful for this club as it can be difficult to keep her occupied at home. Its also lovely to see her being so eager and happy to be at the club.She really enjoyed the days where the artist came and the lego day.The nutrition session was really eye opening. I am really glad I came to this. It was delivered in a way that didn't make it feel overwhelming and it was so easy to think of small ways to make changes.I absolutely love the staffs energy. It was really nice to see them all making sure all the children were having fun.My daughter loved attending the holiday club. As well as breaking the day down for her it gives her a chance to socialise more and play with different children. I found the nutrition session very interesting. The club has helped my daughter with her confidence. She has thrived on keeping in a routine this summer as she finds it difficult to manage change. My son has autism and adhd and it has been good to keep him in a routine in the holidays. There has been no dramatic changes for him as he is coming to club in his own school. He has gone back to school happier than in previous years. It is great as otherwise he would just lock himself away in his room on his x-box all day as he has no social activities outside his school.My daughter loved it. She has made lots of new friends. She enjoyed it all and wanted to come everyday!I am worried that there will be nowhere for my son to go after this. He is 12 next year but has the mental age of a 7 year old. Provision for children aged 11-16 is limited and there is only jam packed summer but sessions are limited to 1 to 3 a week. Please build on this gap.Hello Kirilea, I'm sure you have seen but my son is absolutely loving your club. I can't believe how well it has worked out. He beams when he realises where we are going!!I just wanted to say thank you again for having my son. His interaction with other children has improved significantly. Case studies are completed as part of the monitoring of the project and these evidence the story behind the family, the opportunities the holiday club has given them and the impact on the child and also the wider family. We work in partnership with the schools in which we use as a venue using their knowledge to help plan a successful club or after school enrichment opportunity which meets the needs of the children and families.
