Holiday Activities for Disadvantaged Children Fostering could be your calling in life Hertfordshire County Council has joined forces with Herts Sports Partnership and the Hertfordshire Community Foundation to deliver healthy food and activities over the Easter and May holidays. The HAPpy Holiday Activities Programme is open to all children and young people in Hertfordshire but is particularly aimed at the county’s most disadvantaged children. Children and young people will be able to take part in a range of sports and cultural activities, as well as receive advice on nutrition and cooking skills to enhance their health and wellbeing, with those in receipt of free school meals eligible to attend for free. The HAPpy scheme will be delivered across Hertfordshire during the Easter and May school holidays and in recognition of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the programme is being twin-tracked to include both face-toface and online activities.

Are you someone who has always wanted to make a difference to others? The Covid-19 pandemic may have led to big changes in your life or current job, and you may now have the time to consider taking the next step in fostering a child. Foster carers Jools and Ed have fostered 14 children with Hertfordshire County Council and decided to foster because they “wanted to be heavily involved in helping to create better paths and lives for these children”. “I’ve been in careers and always felt like there’s something missing. With fostering, that missing piece has gone now, it has been filled,” says Ed. “I think everyone has a role to play in life, and some people go through life not finding what they’re meant to be doing, but in fostering, I think I’ve found that. It’s been an amazing journey.” There are many children in desperate need of a family. Each month, Hertfordshire County Council receives an average of 55 requests for new foster placements. There are many different types of fostering and foster carers can choose what is right for them. Foster carers receive a weekly payment for their skills plus a weekly allowance for each child they look after, as well as full training and unrivalled support.
