Key Community is once again ensuring children stay fed and entertained during the upcoming holidays (3-27 April).
The charity is providing FREE crafts and snacks, plus take home recipe bags, for children, from any family who would benefit, aboard its Key Community Bus, which will be running to its usual timetable, of Tuesday to Thursday, over the holidays.
Activities and food provision will take place on a first come, first served basis and while stocks last. The aptly named ‘Busto Packs’ (recipe bags), which serve four, will be distributed at the end of each session, one per family
Boredom busting Easter craft and colouring activities, alongside cress head planting, will take place up top, in the upper deck engagement space, accessible by staircase only. All children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian for the duration of the session.
Recipe bags will include a meat, fish, or vegetarian-based option with easy-to-follow instructions to cook together at home.
No booking required; to take part, simply turn up at any of the regular bus stops listed below:
