Kids take aim at holiday boredom

THORNBURY youth work charity Krunch South West went to great lengths to keep the town's young people entertained over the school holidays.

A four-day holiday activities and food programme, funded by South Gloucestershire Council, saw children offered a wide variety of things to do, from pizza making to hair braiding, bushcraft and graffiti art.

Two days out were included in the programme, with Four Towns transport taking them to try their skills at a Ninja Warriors adventure, as well as tackling the assault course and archery tag at Mojo Active.

Krunch Manager Penny Baker said: "It's fantastic that our school holiday activities proved so popular with the young people in South Gloucestershire.

"We were pleased to see some new faces come along and join us for the first time.

"Every session involved a healthy meal, which the young people were able to get involved in cooking.

"Providing a healthy lunch and encouraging young people to stay active is an important part of the programme, and we are grateful to receive the funding from South Gloucestershire

Council.

"We are already looking forward to our summer programme!”

All young people are welcome at Krunch’s weekly youth clubs, on Wednesdays for school years 6 to 9 and Thursdays for school years 9 to 12.

Both take place from 6:308pm at Turnberrie's Community Centre and admission is £1.
