Happy Healthy & Active Holiday Scheme Programme (HHAH)
Telford & Wrekin Council's Happy Healthy & Active Holiday programme is all about creating positive, enriching and engaging activities that are inclusive for local children and young people aged 5-16 years.
HHAH runs holiday clubs during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays. There are funded spaces available to children in reception through to year 11 who receive benefit-related free school meals.
It won't cost anything to attend. Each club will have a range of fun activities such as sports, cooking, dance, music, arts and crafts, and a nutritious meal each day.

Telford & Wrekin 5 by 5
The 5 by 5 initiative has been developed by Telford & Wrekin Council’s education team with the support of family hubs.
We’ve compiled a list of adventures for children to try by the age of five to help them be happy, healthy, and ready to start school. The adventures and skills are built around five key themes to help children develop and grow, find their voice, make friends, be curious and creative and build connections.
Many of the activities are no cost or low cost and can be done in and around the home or in local community venues, at green flag award winning parks and open green spaces. Parent carers can also download an adventure card from the website, which offers a checklist, so they can keep track of their child’s 5 by 5 journey.
The 5 by 5 initiative is the perfect stepping stone to the Council’s 10 by 10 programme, which suggests ten fun activities to try by the age of ten to encourage young children to try new things and experience the world.
