Oldham Athletic Community Trust’s holiday club recently featured twice on regional news ITV Granada Reports as they ran a special one-off holiday club during the public sector strike that rapidly filled up with youngsters wanting something active to do and parents looking for an alternative to their usual childcare provision.
"Our holiday programme has really grown in popularity in the 18 months that we’ve been running it The children love the fact that it’s held at the ground and parents and carers like the positive and active approach to what we deliver. We’re almost fully booked up and there’s only a few places left so people need to be quick," said Noble.
