We know times are difficult at the moment so please see below for some ideas for fun, free activities taking place this week.

Westminster City Council continues to fund local organisations to provide free half-term activities and healthy food for children and young people in Westminster – October, February & May Half Terms 2023/24
This provision allows vulnerable children and young people to access enriching activities such as Sports Camps, Music, Dance, Arts and Crafts, Adventure Play, Youth Clubs and Offsite Trips during half-term holidays. Participants also receive a free healthy meal each day they attend.
Visit the Our City Website to find out what activities are available and to support families to book a place.
If you are looking for other activities please visit a local library and read as many books as you can. We always love reading at St. Vincent’s!
