YMCA Essex, in conjunction with Active Essex, are delighted to be offering free holiday clubs for children aged 5 – 11, who are eligible for benefits-based free school meals, as well as children from working families who also require this additional support.
Our Clubs will focus on providing fun, physical and enrichment activities, as well as delivering an informative education on the benefits of healthy eating.
Plus, each child will receive a tasty, nutritious meal!

We’re looking for people to join us at our Holiday Clubs and work in a friendly environment to provide fun activities for children!
The Holiday Clubs will run 5 hours per day, 9:30am – 2:30pm over summer and we are looking for a number of staff to fill these roles for all of our holiday club locations.
