The Cheltenham Business Improvement District (BID), The Cheltenham Trust and Cheltenham Borough Council’s ‘No Child Left Behind’ campaign have announced a free Hidden Cheltenham Summer Trail for this Summer holiday.
“The Hidden Cheltenham Summer Trail is following in the footsteps of our successful Easter trail that took place this April and saw more than 300 families successfully complete the trail,” said Maria Marriott, who is part of the Cheltenham BID team.
The event is part of the ‘No Child Left Behind’ initiative introduced by Cheltenham Borough Council to help combat child poverty in the town.
“A year of action started in January 2019 designed with partners to address the main areas of children in poverty,” added Maria.
“Educational, fun and supportive events, activities and campaigns will engage and involve young people and offer them the confidence to get support if they need it.”
The Hidden Cheltenham Summer Trail will take participants through the town, visiting locations in The Brewery Quarter and Montpellier Gardens.
The trail encourages families to use observation skills, beginner’s numeracy skills, physical exercise and teamwork. A goodie bag will be given to each child that completes the trail.
Antonia Burgess commented on April’s Easter Trail on a local Facebook group, saying: “The Easter egg hunt that starts at The Wilson is fab! Me and little boy had such a lovely time walking around today and when you stop at Hollywood Bowling you get given a voucher that entitles a child to a free bowl.
“Everyone was so lovely at each stop and then when you completed the trail and have the word you go back to The Wilson and the children get an egg…all for free! Brace yourself for a good walk as it’s a bit of trek but that only added to the trail and my little boy was so tired after it that bedtime was an absolute breeze!”
The Summer Trail will start on Wednesday 17th July and runs from 9am-5pm Monday to Saturday until Monday 2nd September.
The event will be part of the No Child Left Behind free activities calendar that will be sent to every child enrolled at a Primary School in Cheltenham.
