APSE Local Authority Holiday Provision Seminar 2022

About the seminar

APSE has conducted research in the holiday provision that local authorities are providing across the UK and the lead that councils are taking to tackle the issue of food insecurity in their communities. This event brings together a range of experts from across the UK who will provide the context for holiday provision, outline the key findings of the report and provide and overview of case study examples of how the provision is being delivered at a local level.
