Our ethos

School holidays are all about having fun and at FISH we pride ourselves on providing young people with the choice and freedom they need to enjoy themselves, as well as the opportunity to learn and develop through play. 

Activities

 Young people can enjoy activities such as: climbing walls, giant inflatables, zorbing, DJ-ing, human table football, woodwork, trampolining, archery, bushcraft.

Day trips can also be purchased, including: paintballing, theme parks, horse riding, laser tag, circus workshops, ice skating, canoeing, aqua park.

Inclusion

FISH is an inclusive scheme, with subsidised transport, concessionary rates and support available for young people with additional needs.

Key worker support: key workers provide constant one-to-one support to young people who have additional needs and would otherwise not be able to attend the scheme.

Buddy support: buddy support is occasional support and reassurance from a play worker. Staff and young people move around the FISH site freely, the buddy will not be with the young people at all times but they will check on them a number of times a day.  

Please indicate during the booking process whether your child will need additional support, or phone 01483 444769 to discuss further.
