Among the many providers delivering holiday events is RAW (Real Arts Workshops), which is offering a wide range of visual arts such as pop art, watercolour paintings, anime art, ceramic tile designs, clay work and some British Sign Language learning and games with a deaf tutor.

The activities are available for children and young people aged seven to 25 years at The Workspace, All Saints Action Network, All Saints Road, Wolverhampton. 

Councillor Jacqui Coogan, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education, said: “It was great to visit RAW and see first-hand how much our children and young people are enjoying the events and activities that they are providing here.

"The Yo! Wolves programme was launched over three years ago and continues to go from strength to strength: over 6,000 children and young people across the city enjoyed holiday activities and food last year throughout the school holidays. Places are offered on a first come, first served basis and demand is high, so please make sure you book your activities as soon as possible."

Alex Vann from RAW added: “We were delighted to have welcomed Councillor Coogan to see one of our holiday clubs in action and experience some of the things we offer to young people in Wolverhampton.

“We believe it is so important to provide opportunities for children and young people to learn new skills, make new friends and take part in fun activities in a safe environment. It is lovely to see our young people enjoying themselves and we are pleased to be part of the Yo! Wolves programme providing much needed support for families and communities.”

The RAW programme is one element of the Yo! Wolves programme which offers hundreds of activities available across the city to children and young people with a Holiday Activities Fund (HAF) code, along with a comprehensive selection of free and paid for activities open to everyone. These include sports, arts and crafts, dance and drama workshops, fun days and free activities and sports at our WV Active Leisure Centres.
