Fun and free activities for the family this summer
We have launched a jam-packed calendar of events and activities across the region, throughout the whole six weeks summer holidays, for all to enjoy.
From action days on estates, trips to the beach, summer parties, crafts and healthy food classes, there’s something for everyone.
Along with their usual events, we were awarded a Fuelled fund of £7,357 to run even more at their community hubs, The Arc and Viking Centre. Most of these also include a free meal.
Kerry Copson, Community Development Manager at Ongo said: “We’re very excited to be delivering so many fun things to do in so many different places.
“As a mother I know how difficult it can be to keep children entertained over the summer holidays, and the financial impact this has too.
“With the cost of living increasing at the moment it’s amazing and means a lot to us that we can offer these for free.
“There’s a huge 28 events in total so please get along to one if you can.”
