Patricia van der Ross, the City’s Mayco member for community service and health said, ‘The winter school holiday doesn’t lend itself to many outdoor ventures, but that doesn’t mean children have to be inactive or bored. We have hundreds of programmes planned for the next few weeks that will not only help them stave off the boredom and gain confidence, but being busy will help our youth keep the forward momentum for when they do return to school.’

They are dedicated to ensuring a well-rounded and enjoyable experience for all participants.
‘I want to encourage parents to take the opportunity to keep their children constructively occupied this holiday. I have no doubt there is something exciting for everyone to chase the winter blues away,’ added Councillor Van der Ross.
