MK Council organised the Summer of Play to provide a welcome boost to struggling local families and has liaised with local providers to include hundreds of different activities, ranging from circus skills to robotics to photography workshops.
This year they worked with 40 local clubs, charities, schools and organisations to provide activities alongside its own activities in Children and Family Centres, the Youth Service and MKC Music Hub.
All the sessions take place between August 1 and August 25.
Cllr Zoe Nolan, Cabinet Member for Children and Families, said: “Our Summer of Play is back and is available to all families across the city. We understand that it’s a tough time for everyone which is why we have increased local funding to ensure all children and young people can take part.
"Nobody should be left out and our providers are able to cater their events for those with special educational needs and disabilities.“We've had huge support from our school community and are excited to be offering even more places and additional activities alongside healthy free meals. We’re pleased to be building on the success of last year and look forward to seeing many of you over the summer.”
