Winter HAF with Bolton Wanderers in the Community

Over the Christmas holidays Bolton Wanderers in the Community were one of several providers offering free activities for young people aged 8-17 years old. The activities that ran were free football-based sessions that took place at Bolton St Catherines Academy on their 3G football pitch.

The sessions consisted of matches, fun games, challenges, tournaments and other football-based activities. We  also be provided hot food, free of charge for all young people who attend. The theme for the days was World Cup 22, which was celebrated by running a tournament for the final day of the sessions, where all young people received a certificate and the winners given medals and match tickets for a BWFC game of their choice.

Funded by the Department for Education and co-ordinated locally by Bolton Council, our HAF programme has been such fun so far. The funding supports children and families on benefits related Free School Meals with free fun, creative sessions offering sports, games, physical activity and food for a minimum 4 hours a day, 4 days a week. #TeamBolton deliver a fantastic HAF programme over Easter, Summer and Christmas with over 10,000 individual young people taking part last year.
