Holiday Activity & Food programme from Active Essex
Funded by Department for Education and Essex County Council, Essex ActivAte is the name for the
Holiday Activity and Food programme (HAF) that offers engaging holiday clubs and free activities run
by local club providers across Essex and Thurrock.
Parents/carers of school aged children are invited to book onto primary, secondary, specialist SEND,
mental wellbeing and youth clubs that offer different activities such as sports, arts and crafts, outdoor
adventures, cooking and more, to support young people's wellbeing. Nutritious meals, snacks and
food education are also offered, helping to reduce holiday hunger.
As well as activity clubs, Essex ActivAte offer free resources, tips, guidance and support on their
family support hub, to help make term times a little easier!

AGE WELL EAST - New service in Braintree District supporting people living in later life.
Age Well East is an established charity (formally Age Concern Colchester and Tendring) We have been empowering people in later years since 1950 and we provide excellent support services which are free and easily available.
Age Well East Advice service is now available to support residents living in later life in the Braintree District area (aged 60 plus). In particular we are able to visit people to assist with benefits checks and applications for disability benefits such as Attendance Allowance. Our advice service is delivered by experienced and knowledgeable advisors who provide free independent advice and welfare support. At a time when many people living in later life may be concerned about the cost of living and winter energy bills we are happy to offer free benefits checks to make sure that people are claiming the relevant support.
