Torrington Drive Community Association (TDCA) provides school holiday provision to Riverside customers. The support is really important and includes meals and refreshment, as well as educational and recreational activities for individuals and families.

We were able to award the TDCA £9,835 through the Riverside Foundation to support this work. 

Throughout the summer 712 individuals participated in the ‘Summer of Fun’ sessions. This amounted to 2,456 visits in total. 

One customer said:

“I can’t express how grateful I am for the Summer of Fun programme. It has been a lifeline for me and my kids. The activities kept my children happy and engaged, and I felt less stressed knowing they were in a safe and fun environment. Meeting other parents who understand what I’m going through has been a huge comfort. This programme has given me hope and confidence that I can manage both my work and my mental health while being the best mom I can be.”
