ERYC have requested Newport Parish Council to share some information about the Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF).  ERYC are into the second year of a 3-year Department for Education funded programme which enables children and young people who are in receipt of benefits related free school meals who attend an East Riding school to eat healthily and be active during the school holidays.  There are over 40 HAF delivery partners organising fun activities across the East Riding throughout the 6-week summer holidays, with sessions lasting at least 4 hours and a meal is provided for each participant too.  All of the programmes are inclusive, but ERYC also offer a specific programme of activities for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

ERYC recognise the pressures on low-income families particularly in the holiday period and ask for help in spreading the word about these free activities.  Attached are some flyers of all the programmes.  

If parents and carers see something they like, all they have to do is get in touch with the provider to secure their child’s place.  All East Riding pupils in receipt of benefits related free school meals are able to attend a maximum of 16 activities for free in the summer holidays. 

HAF is a targeted programme, so for everyone else who isn’t eligible, the school’s out website is starting to be populated with new sessions being added daily https://www.activeeastriding.co.uk/

I would like to make you aware of the position of Apprentice (Civil Engineering) based at the Ouse & Humber Drainage Board offices in Newport. This is the fourth apprenticeship the O&HDB organisation has offered in as many years, a programme which has been very successful with the first apprentice now qualifying and moving into a full-time role within the organisation.

The O&HDB are keen to offer this opportunity to an individual in the local community, as well as further afield.

Attached is the full programme of events available across the week. We have worked with regional colleagues to provide a comprehensive mix of events and topics to choose from which are relevant to safeguarding children and families. A few events will not require booking, however the majority will require booking by opening up the link on the attached programme. This will take you through to Eventbrite for you to reserve a free place on the courses you choose.  

The road and cycling event with children and families is a free drop in and aims to offer advice including cycling safety with the hope of reducing injury and head trauma.
