Funded Holiday Club spaces return to Birmingham in 2026
Great news for families across Birmingham — funded holiday club spaces are back for 2026, bringing fun, free holiday clubs to children and young people in Birmingham.
More than 80,000 eligible children and young people will be able to enjoy funded holiday club places through the Bring it on Brum! programme, helping children make the most of their school holidays while giving families extra support.
Running across the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays, the programme brings together over 300 holiday club providers across the city. Funded places are available for children aged 4–16 who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals.
Bring it on Brum! is all about turning school holidays into something special. Children can dive into a packed programme of exciting activities, including indoor and outdoor games, sports, fitness and dance, arts and crafts, cooking, nature trails, quizzes and loads more. And because fun runs best on full tummies, every child receives a healthy, nutritious meal each day.
Families continue to feel the positive impact of the programme. Results from the 2025 programme show that:
- 93% would recommend Bring it on Brum! holiday clubs to other families
- 95% of children and young people said attending a Bring it on Brum! holiday club made them feel more positive
Bookings for the Easter 2026 holiday clubs officially open on Monday 9th March. With places always in high demand and numbers limited, families are encouraged to book early to avoid missing out on the fun.
