North Lanarkshire’s leading holiday programme, which provides free meals for pupils during the holidays, has been expanded to include weekends.

Club 365 will now open in eight venues every weekend and in 23 venues throughout school holidays as part of the council’s drive to tackle weekend and holiday hunger.

Primary school pupils who qualify for free school meals can come along from 11.30am to 1.30pm and enjoy a hot lunch, sports and activities in a fun setting.

Sessions to date have been well attended, making a big difference to the lives of families in low income households and children really enjoyed taking part in the activities on offer.

Weekend venue – Old Monkland Primary.

Venues for the holidays to be released soon.
