HAF Winter:Get Active with URBOND
URBOND delivers its first Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme for children ages 5 – 11 years
Working with Portsmouth City Council through HAF Fun Pompey URBOND organised its first ever HAF activities with the theme, HAF Winter: Get Active with URBOND.
Get Active with URBOND involved 2 days of physical and creative activities, hot lunch and nutritional education for children ages 5 – 11 years who qualify for free school meals.
Our activities on both days (Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st December) included;
- Afro dance
- Gentle fitness and sports (volleyball)
- Lunch
- Fun games and/or crafts
- Music (learning how to play musical instruments such as electric guitar, acoustic guitar, tambourine, flute, etc)
A total of 39 children attended both days and they had lots of fun trying out new activities such as afro dance and volleyball.
”Thank you so much for putting on the kids activities and thank you to everyone who was involved. My children asked if they are coming again tomorrow:-) They loved it so much, trying new sports/activities. They met some old friends there and made new ones.” – Zuzana O.
It’s been wonderful working with HAF Fun Pompey to deliver strategically selected activities to engage with children from diverse backgrounds from our community.
