The Club ofers a wide range of activities to engage children of all ages but serves no educational purpose, i.e. home work or teaching. Children attending the Club are also provided with breakfast and a snack for tea if they wish so. This is of particular beneft to children who were not fortunate enough to start the day with a breakfast. The Holiday Club during school holidays (not bank holidays) ofer scare from 7:30am to 6pm and follows a similar set up like the breakfast and after school club.

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | We as charity, manage to provide continuous support to the parents of Abbots Hall Community Primary School in Stowmarket as well as childcare during school holidays for the wider community in and around Stowmarket. Popularity of the Club has grown further throughout the year, particularly numbers in the Breakfast Club. Overall the numbers of families served increased by 20% Holiday Club has been attended well with up to 28 children per day. A variety of special events have undertaken, for example our popular presentations of an ambulance crew, visit of a police ofcer and the police dog. Opening up again fully since COVID restrictions were lifted was welcomed by all staf, children and families we serve and our attendance levels have increased but we have still kept some practices in place in the club such as group bubbles for diferent age ranges as we feel the younger children beneftted more with more targeted activities, this was initially introduced in 2021/22 but remains in place today. |
