Rugeley Active-ate wins National Award

10th June 2019

Rugeley Community Church’s successful Active-ate family holiday project won the Fit and Fed category of the Street Games National Awards on Tuesday 4th June.

The family holiday project began last summer at Rugeley Community Centre, running for 4 weeks, and was a great hit with children and parents. Active-ate provided a variety of sport and craft activities, plus breakfast and lunch. The children were also able to experience sessions in singing, dance, craft, pottery, painting, dodge ball, fitness exercises, glow in the dark games and much more.

Active-ate has continued to run each school holiday this year and have 9 days planned for the summer.

Rugeley Foodbank is a proud Active-ate partner.

All this is made possible with our partners, Inspiring Healthy Lifestyles, Rugeley Foodbank, Staffordshire County Council, Tesco Store Rugeley, Progressive Sports, Staffordshire Library Service, Staffordshire Wildlife Trust and South Staffordshire College.
