Councillor Beverley Momenabadi, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People said:

“Following the great success of the Yo! programme over the last 12 months, where more youngsters than ever have joined in our holiday events, we’re thrilled to be offering the city’s children and young people a range of brilliant activities that include a meal organised by a host of fantastic local organisations over the Easter holidays.

“We recognise at the moment that too many people – many from working families – are being deeply affected by the cost of living crisis. So providing a comprehensive offer during the school holidays, through Yo! Wolves, has never been so important.

“We are delighted to be working again with city partners and with funding from the council and the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver yet another fun-packed programme with opportunities are available and accessible in every part of Wolverhampton.”
