22/05/2025

With only 60 days until the school summer holidays start in Shropshire, our Healthy Lives Team are busy planning this year’s programme!

PACC’s Healthy Lives Holiday Programme is now in its 4th year! Healthy Lives offers a variety of activities to support physical and mental wellbeing, providing children and young people with SEND in Shropshire with opportunities to create new friendships, catch up with friends, try new activities and be active.

Healthy Lives Registration Information

Healthy Lives Frequently Asked Questions

Our Summer Programme includes:

• All age family activities
• Activities for 8-14 year olds
• Activities for 14-25 year olds
• Activities for young people with complex needs

Please note a Parent Carer or PA will need to attend for the majority of activity offers

For young people accessing the 14-25 programme who are known to PACC and have previously accessed the programme, we are happy to discuss the level of support required with Parent Carers, with a view to developing independence. However, for 8-14 and more complex needs, a PA or Parent Carer will need to attend. 

You only need to complete one registration per year- If you have completed a form for 2025 for Easter or May half-term, you do not need to register again.
