How Bring It On Brum! is Transforming Holiday Activities for Children

Birmingham’s ‘Bring It On Brum!’ – The Holiday Activities and Food Programme

Birmingham’s Bring It On Brum! is making a huge impact in ensuring children and young people stay active, engaged, and well-fed during the school holidays. As part of the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, this initiative provides free holiday clubs with exciting activities and nutritious meals for eligible children across the city.

 

What is ‘Bring It On Brum!’?

Funded by the Department for Education (DfE), Bring It On Brum! is the largest HAF programme in the country, designed to support families by offering safe, enriching activities during school breaks. The programme is delivered through a wide range of schools, community groups, sports clubs, and childcare providers, ensuring that children can enjoy fun, educational experiences while receiving healthy meals throughout the holidays.

 

Key Benefits of Bring It On Brum!

  • Free holiday clubs for eligible children and young people
  • Healthy meals provided at every session
  • Sports, arts, and educational activities to keep children engaged
  • Support for families facing financial challenges
  • Encouraging physical activity and wellbeing

 

Why Holiday Activities Matter

School holidays can be a difficult time for families, particularly those who rely on free school meals during term time. Bring It On Brum! helps tackle holiday hunger while giving children the opportunity to socialise, develop new skills, and stay physically active.

Studies show that regular participation in sports and activities contributes to improved mental and physical health, better focus in school, and stronger community ties. By making these activities free and accessible, Bring It On Brum! is creating positive long-term change in Birmingham’s communities.

 

How Schools, Clubs, and Organisations Can Get Involved

Organisations in Birmingham can apply to host holiday clubs, volunteer, or partner with the programme to offer activities. Schools, sports clubs, and childcare providers are encouraged to contribute their facilities and expertise to help expand the programme’s reach.
