Surrey Family Information Support

If you're responsible for a child, there is a range of financial assistance available depending on your family's circumstance. Some of the options are listed below and also visit Family finance where a whole range of support can be found.


Club4 holiday activity and food camps

Club4 is for children of school age who receive benefit-related free school meals. Part of the Marcus Rashford inspired Holiday Activity and Food programme to keep children busy over the school holidays. The scheme offers parents a helping hand by giving children the chance to stay active and engaged alongside others of the same age. They also receive a healthy meal each day - and it's all completely free.

These camps are run by trained local providers all over the county, but places are limited however there are online activities to keep children entertained at home. To book a place at the next series of camps - or to look at what's available online visit Club4 holiday activities in Surrey.
