Over 90 children from Greenhill Sports and Recreation Centre with Football Fun Factory enjoyed meeting animals and reptiles as part of Oldham’s free Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme.🐍🐐 They also got creative with a scarecrow-making workshop at Cockfields Farm Park. 🌾 The HAF programme provides free activities and meals for children in receipt of benefit-related free school meals during the summer holidays — reflecting our commitment to giving every child the best start in life 🌟🍽️📚 Cllr Shaid Mushtaq, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, joined the children on the visit.
