Easter Childcare Activity Camp Cancellation

We have made the difficult decision to cancel our Easter Childcare Activity Camp.

The decision has been made following on from the news, local schools will be creating childcare hubs for vulnerable children and children of key workers.  We felt at this time, rather than encourage children to gather and be active at our camp, it is better for children to be active at home following activity programmes and video challenges that we will be releasing. We believe this is the right thing to do as a collective group and company. We do apologise to those families that had already booked on before everything changed in recent days.

We feel that we should be making ourselves available to the schools that have been told to stay open and will therefore be volunteering to help the schools and children of key workers in what is a difficult time for them.

The Sporting Influence team will be out in schools from next week. This decision has been made following the government guidelines regarding social distancing.

What is social distancing?

Social distancing measures are steps you can take to reduce the social interaction between people. This will help reduce the transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19). They are:

• Avoid contact with someone who is displaying symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19). These symptoms include high temperature and/or new and continuous cough.
• Avoid non-essential use of public transport, varying your travel times to avoid rush hour, when possible.
• Work from home, where possible. Your employer should support you to do this. Please refer to employer guidance for more information.
• Avoid large gatherings, and gatherings in smaller public spaces such as pubs, cinemas, restaurants, theatres, bars, clubs.
• Avoid gatherings with friends and family. Keep in touch using remote technology such as phone, internet, and social media.
• Use telephone or online services to contact your GP or other essential services.

Everyone should be trying to follow these measures as much as is practicable.

Final thoughts…

This has been a horrible decision to make but we feel at this time, we need to pull together and help everybody that we can. Sporting Influence will be in the community next week, working at ‘School Hubs’ to support those children of key workers and hopefully we will be back to normality by May Half Term. We thank you in advance for your understanding and patience. Please keep yourselves and family members safe during these tough times! Keep your eyes peeled for our home video challenges!
