Yes, you can receive assistance with holiday clubs if you apply through the school. Some holiday activities and clubs, like those provided by Braintree Museum, receive referrals directly from schools. If your child is eligible for free school meals, schools are likely to refer them directly to these clubs. It’s a good practice to talk to your school for more specific information on the programs available.
