Filling The Holiday Gap 2020

Cornwall Councils Wellbeing and Public Health Team are seeking applications for the 2020 Filling the Holiday Gap funding scheme to provide free enrichment activities and healthy food for disadvantaged children and families during the school summer holidays for children and young people aged 5 to 16. The funding is focused on how projects can alleviate the financial pressure on household incomes by providing enrichment sessions that include an activity and a nutritious meal.

The scheme recognises that flexibility is important and innovation is encouraged; applications that involve partnership working are welcome as are projects that can engage the community or demonstrate wider benefits to individual or family wellbeing. There is £175,000 in total available for the fund. There is no minimum amount that can be applied for by any one organisation, all applications must demonstrate value for money, be not for profit and higher value applications will incur a more detailed scrutiny process.
