She said: “Last summer, more than 2,300 young people accessed our holiday clubs across Blackburn with Darwen, and we know from the feedback how important these sessions were in supporting families over the summer period.

“The clubs are aimed at children who are eligible for free school meals, and our holiday clubs are a great opportunity for young people to socialise and take part in a wide variety of fun and engaging activities, as well as receive a meal.
