About Us
Our organisation has a robust track record in delivering Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programs in Sandwell, having successfully hosted these at Glebefields Primary, Yew Tree Primary, Jubilee Park Community Centre, and Tipton Community Centre. These programs offered a wide range of activities, catering to the diverse interests and needs of children and young people. Our experienced staff, trained in child safeguarding and inclusive practices, ensured a safe and welcoming environment for all participants. We actively sought and incorporated feedback to enhance our offerings continuously.
Our efforts significantly contributed to the physical, social, and educational development of participants, evidenced by positive feedback from children, parents, and community partners.

What benefits can you expect from this?
Aspire Active Camps can significantly enhance children’s physical well-being, social skills, and academic performance. By integrating sports with educational content, children not only improve their fitness levels but also develop a positive attitude towards learning and physical activity. These programs are designed to boost confidence, encourage teamwork, and foster a love for staying active, all while reinforcing key academic concepts in an engaging environment. The unique blend of physical and educational activities ensures that children receive a holistic developmental experience that benefits both mind and body.

What makes Aspire Active HAF unique?
Aspire Active Education Group’s Ofsted registered Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme offers thousands of children aged between 5 to 11 years to make an unforgettable school holiday. It’s all about fun, food and physical activity. HAF is a free holiday programme backed by footballer Marcus Rashford MBE and funded by the Government for children who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals. The programme helps to keep children happy, healthy and entertained over the school break.
Our HAF programmes in Sandwell are set to be action-packed!
A day at our HAF camps will include four physical activity sessions and a nutritious meal. Every child who joins us at HAF is given a Home Resource booklet packed full of physical activity challenges and delicious recipes for them to try at home. Our HAF programme gives children the chance to try new sports and activities, learn new skills, make new friends, and build confidence, keeping them active and smiling during the school holiday.

What makes this activity inclusive?
Our activities are designed to be inclusive, welcoming children with a range of needs including physical disabilities, mild to moderate learning disabilities, developmental disorders such as autism, behavioural conditions like ADHD, learning difficulties including dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression. We work closely with families to assess and meet each child’s needs on a case-by-case basis, although it’s important to note that we may not provide niche and specialist care. Our aim is to ensure all children can participate and enjoy our camps in a supportive environment. Please contact the provider for more information on the activities.
What They Say About Us
“As a teacher and an ex-camp leader myself I cannot praise this system more highly. The staff were well trained, enthusiastic, good communicators and held safeguarding in the highest regard. My son does not find it easy mixing with new groups but really loved his trial this year with morning sessions. We will definitely be using the programme again.”
“We’ve tried a few Holiday Clubs and find Aspire by far the best one. Friendly staff, lovely mix of kids, great activities that are varied. The kids always leave exhausted!”
“Overall I was very impressed with the staff and how supportive they were. My child came out very excited and clearly had been given a really wonderful experience during his time there. The staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. There was a good variety of activities for the children.”
“The girls enjoy coming and have already asked to come back again. Processes are simple and easy and I feel my children are safe while at the camp.”
“Very impressed from signing up and finishing, staff meeting parents are well trained communicating thoroughly and professionally which give us confidence to leave children in safe and organised hands.”
