Families make a splash at free inflatable fun session
Kids dived into the Easter holidays with a free family swim session at Hastings’ Summerfields Leisure Centre with funding from our Hastings and St Leonards Goodwill Fund. Here's how your family can jump in on the action.
Free swim sessions at Bohemia Road
Wednesday, 9 April, saw the first of a series of free swim sessions at the Bohemia Road centre after they received more than £6,600 of community funding from our Goodwill Fund for Hastings and St Leonards.
The sessions offer local families an opportunity to get some exercise and have fun together – without having to pay a penny. The next one takes place from 2-3pm next Wednesday, 16 April, with additional slots at the same time on 28 May, 23 July, 30 July, 6 August, 13 August, 20 August and 27 August.
Alex Willumsen, Community Partnerships and Programme Manager at Southern Water said:
“It’s been fantastic to see children enjoying the start of the Easter holidays at this first session. We’re really pleased to be able to provide more families with free fun over the coming months, as part of our ongoing support for the Hastings and St Leonards communities.”
Martyn Reynolds, Freedom Leisure’s Area Healthy Communities Manager commented:
“Our goal is to create an inclusive space where families can have fun and connect. This funding has made it possible to extend these benefits to those who may be facing financial challenges and ordinarily may not be able to participate.”
