GTDT Youth Hub – Summer HAF

In addition to the physical activities we offer a range of cultural activities, arts and crafts and trips including to heritage sites. We consult with the young people at the beginning of the holiday to ensure we include something for every child. These activities will include: trips to Liverpool Museums, gardening and growing, music, literature and poetry, walking, trips to Liverpool Cathedrals and other places of interest and significance, for children from Liverpool 8 and surrounding wards. We work with a wide age range of children and young people and ensure that we have activities to suit all age ranges. Where appropriate, we break the young people down into age groups (this is why we have enough youth workers and volunteers to support all groups). We are particularly keen to engage with teenagers, who often don't engage in activities. Our football tournaments are very popular with older children as are some of the trips and activities eg Museums. As GTDT leads Detached Youth Provision for south Liverpool, we are known to teenagers and trusted as a place to come during the holidays. GTDT has been delivering HAF funded activities since the funding began and it makes a huge difference to the quantity and quality of activities and food we are able to provide to local children and families. We get amazing feedback from children, young people, parents and carers about the impact of the holiday activities, as well as the benefit they derive from having support to feed their kids, ideas to help produce nutritious meals and snacks and additional food for home meals.
