5 On It Foundation are proud to be supporting the government’s HAF scheme, in partnership with Milton Keynes Council, to provide activities and food to families with children in receipt of benefit-related Free School Meals (FSM) during the Christmas school holidays.
The local charity is running an Olympic-themed event at The Ridgeway Centre IN Wolverton on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd December.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join 2012 Olympian Peter Bakare alongside fantastic sports coaches from Premiere Education for 2 days of FREE Nutri Troops exciting games alongside real-life and interactive healthy lifestyle games for children aged 6-11 years olds.
Creating opportunities for all children to be active during the holidays is incredibly important. Peter explained that 5 On It and Nutri Troops free holiday camps are ‘really about empowering the children to live a healthy lifestyle.’ It’s a great way for children to play together and try new things. This is perhaps especially valuable after a year in which many of these opportunities have not been possible. As Peter said, ‘The sessions are so sociable, you know, with what we’ve just been through throughout the last year, this is great for the children to get out and see other people.’
Peter is a strong advocate for the importance of free activities and meals for children during the school holidays, as he himself received this support 
as a child. He explained, ‘You know, for myself growing up, I know what it feels like when one of the most important meals you get is at school. It is so hard for families at the minute, so, these kinds of things are really important.’
Participants are taken on a digital adventure through Nutri Troops magical world, filled with characters linked to healthy and unhealthy lifestyles, combining the impact of both activity and nutrition. Nutri Troops teaches children how to live a healthy & active lifestyle through interactive games, stories & real-world challenges.
All children will receive a hot lunch on both days, a Nutri Troops Goody Bag, and all the ingredients to go home and make a meal both evenings for a family of 4, from the amazing team at St Marks Meals.
There are 350 free places available for children who are in receipt of benefit-related Free School Meals (FSM). For more information and to book, go to http://5onit.co.uk/nutri-troops-olypmic-themed-games-days/
