🌟 Youth Work Matters: This Summer, We're Making Every Day Count 🌟

Every child and young person deserves somewhere they feel safe, welcomed and valued. A place where they can make friends, learn new skills, have fun, enjoy a healthy meal, and know that trusted adults are there to support them.

At Springbank Community Group CiC, that's exactly what we're providing throughout the summer holidays with a packed programme of free activities for children and young people across Cheltenham.

🍳 Free Breakfast Club

Monday to Friday, we're helping children start their day with a healthy breakfast, reducing holiday hunger and giving families one less thing to worry about.

🎉 Holiday Activities & Food (HAF)

Across six HAF sessions, children eligible for the programme can enjoy exciting activities, nutritious meals and opportunities to make lasting memories throughout the holidays.

🏡 Brizen Youth Club Summer Programme

Our open-access youth provision will be running every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, giving young people aged 10–16 a safe place to meet friends, take part in activities, develop confidence and simply be themselves.

🌍 Peace Camp 2026

This summer we're also proud to be hosting young people from our international partner towns as part of Peace Camp 2026. Together they'll explore friendship, culture, leadership and peace, building relationships that cross borders and create lasting understanding.

Youth work changes lives. It improves wellbeing, reduces isolation, builds confidence and creates opportunities that many young people simply wouldn't otherwise have.

At a time when youth services continue to face significant challenges, we're committed to ensuring that young people in Cheltenham still have somewhere they belong.

💛 Whether you volunteer, donate, share our posts or simply encourage a young person to attend, you're helping us make a real difference.

A huge thanks to our amazing team who are giving up their summers to provide our very full programme of events.

Because every young person deserves a place to belong. Because Youth Work Works.
