Our School Holiday Enrichment Programme (SHEP), under the branding ‘Food and Fun’, is a school-based scheme that provides healthy meals, food and nutrition education, physical activity and enrichment sessions to learners in areas of socio-economic disadvantage during the school summer holidays.  It is administered by the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA).

In 2026 to 2027, we are providing £5.85 million to support SHEP.
