Festive Fun and Full Bellies at GoSport’s Christmas HAF Programme
Young people enjoyed an action-packed and festive holiday thanks to the Christmas HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) childcare programme delivered by GoSport Activity Centre.
Running throughout the Christmas break, the programme offered a safe, energetic, and welcoming space for children and young people to stay active, try new skills, and enjoy nutritious food during the holidays. Each day was filled with excitement, laughter, and hands-on activities designed to build confidence and teamwork.
Among the highlights were axe throwing and archery, where participants learned focus, coordination, and safety under expert supervision. For those who love adventure and problem-solving, orienteering challenges encouraged teamwork and navigation skills, while a variety of group games kept energy levels high and spirits bright during our frosty weather.
The festive season wouldn’t be complete without good food, and GoSport delivered in style. Young people came together daily for tasty food, culminating in a Christmas dinner feast. Here they enjoyed a warm, hearty meal inclusive of a festive cracker in a celebratory atmosphere—an important part of the HAF programme’s commitment to ensuring children have access to healthy food during school holidays.
Parents and carers praised the programme for keeping children engaged, active, and smiling throughout the break, while young attendees spoke excitedly about trying activities they had never experienced before.
With its blend of sport, adventure, and festive cheer, GoSport Activity Centre’s Christmas HAF childcare programme proved to be a memorable holiday experience—one that left young people happy, active, and well fed as they headed into the New Year.
