Rachel Peters, community development officer for Sovereign, said: “This is the second year we’ve offered additional funding for summer holiday programme places.

“With the cost of living continuing to rise, we wanted children in our communities to access fantastic activities without adding further financial pressure to their families. All of the programmes come with lunch provided.”

Westside Community Association added: “We appreciate the support that Sovereign has provided to our family holiday programme this summer.

“The additional funding that they are providing means that we are able to support increased number of families. We are grateful for the ongoing partnership we have with Sovereign.”
