At PGL, we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to discover what they’re capable of. Whether it’s trying something new, building confidence, making friends or enjoying time outdoors, our experiences are designed to create memories and skills that last long after the holiday ends.
This summer, we’re delighted to be working with local authorities across the UK to deliver the Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) programme at eight PGL centres, giving eligible children and young people aged 8–16 the chance to enjoy action-packed activity days.
Booking arrangements vary depending on your local authority and PGL centre. Simply select your nearest centre below to find out more about the activities available and how to book.
