Liz Kendall Visits Wesley Hall Community Centre During Summer HAF Programme

Wesley Hall Community Centre was delighted to welcome Liz Kendall, Member of Parliament for Leicester West, during our Summer HAF Programme in July 2026.

Her visit was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the activities taking place at the centre and the positive experiences being provided for local children during the school holidays.

Supporting Children and Families During the Summer Holidays

The programme offered a wide range of activities, from sports and gardening to baking, creative arts and games. These sessions helped children stay active, explore new interests and develop their confidence in a supportive setting.

During her visit, Liz Kendall had the opportunity to see the programme in action and engage with our community, making it another special occasion for the children attending.

The Importance of Community Holiday Programmes

For many families, the school holidays can present challenges when it comes to finding affordable activities and opportunities for children to stay engaged.

Through our HAF Programme, Wesley Hall provided a safe and welcoming environment where children could enjoy nutritious meals, spend time with friends and participate in activities that supported their learning and wellbeing.

The programme also encouraged children to build friendships, develop independence and experience activities they might not otherwise have had the opportunity to try.

We were pleased to welcome Liz Kendall to the centre and share the work taking place to support children and families in our community.

Celebrating a Successful Summer

With 120 children supported and 1,900 attendances, our Summer HAF Programme was a fantastic success.

We would like to thank our staff, tutors and volunteers for their commitment throughout the programme, as well as everyone who helped make the activities possible.
