Holiday Squad Easter Fun with Karbon Homes

We’ve had another fantastic Easter, joining the brilliant Karbon Homes Holiday Squad programme, delivering fun-filled sessions for children across the community. This year, we popped up at Chester-le-Street Community Centre, Bullion Hall, and St John’s Hall in Moorside, and what an amazing time we had!

Karbon Homes Holiday Squad is all about providing a great range of free activities for primary school-aged children during the Easter and summer holidays, and we absolutely love being part of it. Having worked alongside the programme for several years now, it’s something we always look forward to and this Easter certainly didn’t disappoint!

Our “Easter Egg-stravaganza!” sessions

were packed with excitement from start to finish. The children enjoyed a full day of hands-on fun, getting stuck into:

• Baking delicious sweet treats, including Bunny Cheesecake and Chick Cupcakes

• Creating their very own Easter picnic lunch, including colourful rainbow wraps

• Practising key cooking skills like safe knife techniques and grating

• Taste testing along the way and trying new flavours

• Crafting and decorating colourful springtime creations

• Taking part in energetic Easter games, from bunny hop races to egg hunts

These drop-off sessions gave children the chance to build confidence, try new skills, make friends, and most importantly have lots of fun in a safe and welcoming environment.

We’re also really excited to be continuing the fun this week with our SEN/D-friendly sessions, designed to be inclusive, supportive, and just as fun, hosted at The Croft Community School.

A huge thank you to Karbon Homes for having us once again, we’re already looking forward to the next Holiday Squad adventures!
