Holiday Camps
Holiday camps remain one of our biggest activities each year and the last 12 months has seen them expand into new areas while previous camps have grown in popularity
West Ham Park
Having run for over 10 years, our West Ham Park summer camp, funded by the East End Community Foundation, attracts over 60 children each year.
During the camp, children took part in a range of cricket activities, were provided with a free lunch, and took part in life skill workshops including a visit from AstraZeneca (organised via the Lord’s Taverners), and a first aid course for young people.
Stewart Headlam Primary School
Our second longest running camp, the summer camp at Stewart Headlam Primary School is a multi-sports camp that features cricket, football, dodgeball, and various other sports.
Funded by Tower Hamlets Council, the camp also provides children with a free meal as part of their attendance.
Pymmes Park and Heath Extension
Linked with our work to develop a club in Pymmes Park, Enfield, and with our support for Canons CC, we introduced two new summer camps in 2024.
Both camps ran with the aim of promoting each club and boosting numbers ahead of winter training sessions.
Impact
Holiday camps support the health and wellbeing of children and young people through providing a minimum of 12 hours of physical activity each week as well as alleviating child hunger and food poverty through providing a free meal each day.
