We have some exciting days of activity planned across Cheshire East for children and families with disabilities during the holidays.
As part of our Ability for All programme Everybody Health & Leisure have some exciting activities planned during the school holiday periods. During July and August 2026, we will be running some activity sessions as part of the Ability for All Summer Holiday programme.

Who are the activities for?
The summer holiday activities are for those young people aged 4 to 17 who are SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and siblings who are young carers.
We are not eligible for Free School Meals, can we still attend?
The activities over summer are part of HAF Lot 2 funding. Under Lot 2, the activities are SEND specific activities rather than for activities for those who receive free school meals.
My child is SEND but does not have a school placement and currently schooled at home, are we still eligible?
Yes, your child is still eligible to attend.
When will bookings open for the summer holiday programme?
Cheshire East Council will be releasing tickets for all the summer holiday HAF activities/providers at the same time. The provisional date we’ve been given for the ticket release is Thursday 24th June but will confirm this nearer the time
How do we book places on the activities?
Places for the Ability for All Summer Holiday programme can be made via the EEQU booking system which Cheshire East Council use for HAF activities. If you’ve not used EEQU before we would recommend registering in advance to avoid delays when bookings open as places will be limited.
