HEALS of Malmesbury is running a 2019 Summer Programme of free activities during the school holidays for young people from service user families past and present, aged 8 to 16 years.
The activities will be supervised by a qualified safeguarder, supported by HEALS volunteers who are all DBS checked to ensure they have no convictions that would disbar them from this programme. The activities encourage social and communications skills, help develop friendships and improve health and well-being. The programme is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, Warden and Freemen of Malmesbury, Wiltshire Council's Malmesbury Area Board and HEALS of Malmesbury.
Our Summer Activities are for 8 to 16 year olds. If you have more than one child who wishes to participate in our Summer Activity Programme, please fill in the details above for each child and then write next to each activity, the name of each child who would like to participate in each activity.
