Councillor Beverley Momenabadi, the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “We’re delighted to once again be able to offer the city’s children and young people hundreds of brilliant events and activities organised by a host of fantastic local organisations this summer.
“By working closely with local partners and with funding from the council and Department of Education, we have lined up another fun packed programme, ensuring that opportunities are available and accessible in every area of Wolverhampton, with hundreds of them free of charge and including food.
“The city’s children and young people are the council’s top priority and with the current cost of living squeeze a comprehensive offer during the school holidays has never been so important to families.”
All events and activities taking place as part of Yo! Summer can be found on the website. It also enables youngsters and parents to access support, advice and information for everything from mental health and wellbeing to education and careers.
