What is the Targeted Health Outreach School Holiday Scheme?

Targeted Health Outreach School holiday schemes are for young people with additional needs who want support to develop their independence and improve their health and well-being.

The scheme offers a range of activities designed to help young people increase their confidence, levels of physical activity, independence skills, and emotional health and well-being. All activities are inclusive and we do risk assessments for each person to determine if they are suitable for any particular activity.

The activities are a great way for young people to meet peers in a safe and supported environment;1:1 support may be available.

Some of the activities are provided in partnership with other organisations like the Museum of the Home, Mouth that Roars, and Access To Sports.
