Free places at summer football camps are being offered to families in Blackpool this year, giving children the chance to stay active during the school holidays.
Kellogg’s Football Camps will provide sessions for children aged five to 15, with local venues including Blackpool FC as well as nearby clubs such as Fleetwood Town, Preston North End, Blackburn Rovers and Accrington Stanley.
The scheme, delivered in partnership with the English Football League (EFL) and major clubs, is designed to help families manage the pressures of the long summer break.
Research by Kellogg’s suggests half of parents feel stressed at the thought of balancing work and childcare during the holidays, while nearly one in five say they have taken sick leave due to limited childcare options.
More than 39,000 places are available nationwide, with sessions led by FA-qualified coaches aimed at helping children build confidence, learn new skills and spend time away from screens.
Parents can apply for a place by purchasing a participating Kellogg’s cereal and scanning the QR code on the pack to register online.
Dean O’Brien, UK General Manager at Kellogg’s, said the camps aim to support both children and parents during one of the busiest times of year.
He said: “We’re proud to bring Kellogg’s Football Camps back for a third year, helping parents during the school holidays and giving children the chance to stay active.”
The camps will begin from June 27 and are set to run during the summer holidays.
