The grant would be used to sustain 30 before school, 30 after school and 30 holiday places for children aged 3 - 14 years old in Consett, Durham. The additional funding is needed as the group lost their original premises and had difficulties finding a replacement building. This led to substantial delays in opening with many parents finding alternative childcare, which meant there was a slower take up of places than anticipated. Approximately 15 places are filled on a daily basis.
