I am running the Potter's Arf 2025 to raise money for The Hubb Foundation. They support children and their families through school holidays by providing a safe space, fun activities and food, which for many households may be difficult. School holidays can be a pressure point for families because of increased costs and reduced incomes. This can lead to a holiday experience gap with children from disadvantaged families less likely to access enrichment activities, more likely to experience unhealthy holidays in terms of nutrition and physical health and more likely to experience social isolation. Returning to school in poor physical and mental health can have a detrimental impact on children's wellbeing and their educational attainment.

The Hubb Foundation work with a wide range of businesses and organisations across Stoke-on-Trent to allow disadvantaged children and their families to access much-needed free provision. By providing free meals and enriching activities, they aim to support the community by developing children's physical, mental and emotional wellbeing whilst positively affecting social change and creating happy memories.

All children should be given the chance to experience a happy and healthy school holiday.
