Manchester Active and Manchester City Council are offering hundreds of FREE places for children eligible for benefit related free school meals to access a variety of activities over the school holiday periods.
Activities will range from Sport and Physical Activities, Arts and Crafts and sometimes can include a variety of Day Trips. Funded by the Department of Education.
In addition to the activities, each booked place will include a FREE meal during the day.
Eligibility checks are going to change in 2024 and the registration system will automatically recognise those who are eligible, with a code no longer being issued.
Currently all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 can get free school meals whatever your income. But, if you receive one of the qualifying incomes (see below) you will need to register for benefit related free school meals in order for the registration system to recognise that your child is eligible for a school holiday activity place.
In order for the system to automatically check your child’s eligibility for free holiday activities you need to make sure that your Go account is up to date and all your information is correct.
The system will automatically run checks against your child’s;
- Surname
- Forename
- DOB
- Postcode
It is very important that all this information is correct and up to date.
