Play Scheme in Walsall
Inspiring women. Unbreakable courage. A documentary series that asks: Is hope stronger than fear?
Our Mission: Nourishing Families. Strengthening Communities.
Our mission is to ensure that no child or family in Walsall feels unsupported during the school holidays. By providing access to nutritious food, engaging activities and a welcoming community environment, we aim to reduce food insecurity, tackle isolation and help children stay active, connected and supported when schools are closed.
Strategic goals:
The Challenge
During the school holidays, many families across Walsall face the difficult reality of food insecurity. Without access to the regular meals, activities and support provided during term time, vulnerable children can be left at greater risk of hunger, isolation and inactivity.
Our Solution
Active & Engaged
Through physical activity, games and enriching experiences, we help children stay active, engaged and connected throughout the holiday period. Our programme promotes wellbeing, confidence and positive social interaction while giving children opportunities to learn, play and have fun.
Nutritious Meals
Every child receives a healthy, freshly prepared traditional meal. We combine good nutrition with a celebration of food and heritage, helping children enjoy wholesome meals in a positive community environment.
Our Impact
Our goal is simple: no child should go hungry or feel left behind during the school holidays. By bringing together nutritious food, physical activity and meaningful enrichment, we’re helping children across Walsall experience healthier, happier and more fulfilling holidays.
