We have been asked to share this funding opportunity with you. Hampshire County Council Public Health are keen to support interested organisations to shape their bids.
Organisations are now being invited to bid for grant funding from the Department of Education to take on the role of testing the coordination of free holiday provision (including healthy food and enriching activities) for disadvantaged children during the 2019 summer holidays in up to 9 upper-tier local authorities.
