Derwent Valley Partnership’s Holiday Activities with Healthy Food (‘Fun and Food’) Fund October 2021 – Now open for applications!

Our ‘Fun and Food’ Fund aims to ensure that as many children and young people as possible have access to food during school holidays, alongside enriching activities, in particular considering those children and young people who would normally receive a free school meal during Term Time.

This week we are launching the next phase of our ‘Fun and Food’ programme which aims to support activities for children and young people during October half term 2021, and provides an opportunity for groups and organisations in the Derwent Valley area to apply for a small grant to help them deliver projects locally during this time.

We are now accepting small grant applications for a minimum request of £500. Applicants are encouraged to provide a healthy meal (breakfast, lunch or tea) as part of the activity.

Application forms and guidance notes can be requested from the Derwent Valley Partnership Team directly by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or telephoning: 07818 310365.

Please note that all fully completed applications and supporting documents must be received by 12 noon on Wednesday 15th September 2021.
