Children with disadvantaged background directly lead to problems such as hunger, increased risk and exposure to abuse or violence as well as an increased propensity to participate in, or become victims of, anti-social activity. Parents with no option but to left their children at home with no activity, or bored while they are at work or at home themselves will leave so many children without basic needs met. Confidence - this is important factor which would help if their needs met.

We will identify children with disadvantaged backgrounds and provide them with school holiday provision where as normally they would not have this opportunity with this project. Children aged 5-15 years old will attend to school holiday fun activities and healthy food packages will be provided as part of the project. The activities specially organised to meet with the children's needs as what standard child would have for their holidays. Improved confidence of each child will be a priority.
