Great Childhoods Ambition

In Barnsley we want all children, young people and families to benefit from the opportunities that a great childhood brings. Our Great Childhoods Ambition is a commitment to improving the lives and futures of our children and young people, providing a range of experiences and learning opportunities to help give them the best start in life and adulthood.

From sports and outdoor adventures, to creative arts, family fun days, and youth club sessions, there’s something for children and young people of all ages to enjoy. Delivered by a wide range of local partners, the programme is designed to help children stay active, build confidence, try new experiences and make lasting memories throughout the summer holidays.

Explore the different types of activities available and how to book below. Many of the listed activities are fully inclusive, but you should contact the activity provider directly if you or your child have any specific needs or requirements to take part.
