- School-aged children (5 - 14)
- Young people (14 - 19)
- Large families (3 + Children)
- Lone parents
- Care Experienced Young People
- Kinship Care Families

Projects must have activities that cover a minimum number of 5 days throughout the Summer holiday. The available school holiday funds are Summer 2025 (up to £2,000), Autumn 2025 and Easter 2026 (up to £500). You can apply for one or two.
