FOLLOWING the success of Lampton Leisure’s Holiday Activities and Food programme at Brentford Fountain Leisure Centre and Hanworth Air Park Leisure Centre over the past two years, the holiday camp offer is being expanded to all Hounslow leisure centres.
The extension of the HAF programme forms part of Lampton Leisure’s ongoing commitment to offer the local community improved access to health and wellbeing services.
Rowland Omamor, managing director of Lampton Leisure, said: “By expanding our HAF programme to all six of our sites, we are helping more children in Hounslow to stay active and develop new skills in line with our commitment to deliver better health and wellbeing outcomes for the community.
“With a broad range of fun and confidence-building sessions and nutritious meals on offer, we are supporting healthier lifestyles while providing children with the opportunity to participate in activities that they may not otherwise have access to.”
Lampton Leisure’s HAF sessions provide eligible children with access to free and engaging activities including swimming, tennis, dodgeball and fun team challenges such as “drop the egg”. Sessions last four hours each and attending children also receive a healthy meal.
Lampton Leisure has run 14 weeks worth of HAF sessions since first launching the programme in April 2022 and last year the business was selected as a regular HAF provider.
Welcoming 66 participants in its first camp, Lampton Leisure’s holiday programmes have grown rapidly with 126 participants attending the sessions over the Christmas holidays. By extending the HAF programme to all six of its leisure centres, Lampton Leisure will improve access to sessions for children across the borough.
Parents of children who have attended previous Lampton Leisure holiday camps have shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about the programme.
