The Play and Youth Service offer a range of free and low cost child centred play provision across the borough, offering activities within local communities for children and young people aged 4-13 years old. All staff are DBS checked (previously known as CRB).
Play Sessions (4-12s)
Mainly for younger, children these sessions are about getting involved with fun activities such as arts and crafts, role play, games and much more! Sessions usually run after school and on a weekend with extra sessions in the school holidays.
Junior Youth Club (9-12s)
Junior youth club is a great way to gain experience working with older children. Positive activities are still the main focus, however, the children may need someone to listen, offer them advice or teach new skills to prepare them for the wider world!
Youth Club (13-17’s)
Working with teenagers, the youth sessions offer an array of activities and projects that aim to develop young people into adults. Activities can range from fun light hearted topics to more issue based projects that aim to inform and challenge perceptions! A great way to make a real difference in young people’s lives.
Holiday Activities and Food (HAF)
Funded by the Department for Education (DfE) and co-ordinated locally by Bolton Council, our HAF programme supports children and families on benefit related Free School Meals with free fun, creative sessions. The sessions offer sports, games, physical activities, and food for a minimum four hours a day, four days a week.
