Abstract:
With the school holidays being recognised as a high-risk time for children to experience food insecurity, there is a growing prevalence of school holiday initiatives that include free food. However, information is lacking into what constitutes effective practice in their delivery, and how this can be evaluated. This paper provides insight from individuals who implemented a pilot of a national project which provided free food for children at UK community summer holiday sports clubs in 2016. Focus groups were conducted with all 15 leaders of the holiday clubs that participated in the pilot to understand: (1) what opportunities are provided by community holiday sports clubs which include free food; (2) what challenges arose as a result of offering free food within a broader community holiday club sports offer. Results indicate that offering free food at such clubs creates multiple opportunities for attending children, including: experiencing social interactions around food; enhancing food experiences and food confidence; and promoting positive behaviour. However, free food provision is associated with challenges including resource constraints and tensions around project aims. Future work should determine whether holiday clubs can positively impact children’s wellbeing and healthy eating.

Abstract:
Holiday clubs—publicly or privately operated organizations that provide child care services and healthy food to disadvantaged children in the United Kingdom (UK) when schools are not in session—are increasing in number. We know a good deal about the effectiveness of the clubs in terms of nutrition-related outcomes, but little is known about the anti-poverty resources these holiday clubs may provide. The possibility that club funding may be centralized through the national government requires a better understanding of holiday club resources. This study describes the range of resources that holiday clubs deliver and reports on how these resources are acquired and brokered by club staff and volunteers. We use data from seventeen clubs operating in disadvantaged communities in North East England during the summer of 2017, and find that clubs deliver an assortment of anti-poverty resources that are often tied to staff (personal and professional) networks.

Abstract:
In Northern Ireland, nearly 30% of children are thought to be at risk of going hungry in the summer holidays when they are unable to access free school meals. Community groups, voluntary groups, local authorities, and faith groups have responded to this concern by developing and delivering holiday programmes that enable children from low-income families to take part in activities and access food. The current study used purposive sampling to investigate children’s and young people’s views of holiday provision, from across three holiday clubs, in Northern Ireland. Both primary school children (n = 34; aged 4–11) and secondary school children (n = 31; aged 12–17) showed high levels of awareness of poverty and food insecurity and associated pressures and stresses on households. Importantly, children and young people did not feel stigmatised about attending holiday provision, suggesting a positive and inclusive culture towards holiday club attendance. Children reported that they enjoyed the range of activities provided at holiday clubs and reported that attendance improved their self-confidence, especially for some older children, who acted as peer mentors to younger attendees, helped them to develop new skills, and provided them with opportunities to socialise with peers in a safe environment, out with their normal social groupings in school. Older children showed a high level of shrewdness and knowledge of sectarian divides in communities but spoke positively about how different religious or cultural backgrounds did not matter in terms of meeting and making new friends in holiday club settings. In terms of food provision, the findings of this study suggest that further work needs to be done to support children to access and eat healthy, nutritious food.

Abstract:
Children’s physical activity decreases during school holidays. Less structured days and reduced participation in organised activities may account for some of the decrease. Little is known about the factors that influence parents’ decision to enrol their child in organised activity such as holiday clubs. This paper sought to explore parents’ perceptions of their child’s physical activity during school holidays and the factors that influence holiday activity-based decision making. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 42 parents of children aged 10–11 years in July 2017 or March 2018. Data were analysed using a combination of inductive and deductive content analysis to explore parents’ perceptions of holiday-based physical activity and the factors associated with how they provide physical activity opportunities for their children. The data revealed that most parents consider their child’s physical activity levels when planning for the school holidays. However, work commitments in the holidays meant many parents had to rely on both informal and formal childcare. Grandparents were the primary source of informal childcare, despite a perception that children were not as physically active when with them. Holiday clubs were also a viable option, but the cost, location and age-appropriateness of provision inhibit parents signing older children up to these regularly.

Abstract:
Child poverty rates are rising, particularly in London, putting more children at risk of experiencing food insecurity. Holiday programmes in the UK provide children who receive free schools meals during term time with access to free/low-cost holiday clubs offering nutritious food and enriching activities during the school holidays. This study aimed to investigate whether children’s dietary intake was more adherent to the UK Eatwell Guide throughout the day and meets School Food Standards (SFS) for the lunchtime meal on a club attendance versus a non-attendance day. A repeated measures design was used to assess data on the food and drink intake of children (n = 57) aged 7–16 years old using a 24 h recall method on two separate occasions: once based on an attending club day and once based on a non-attending club day. The results showed children’s diet quality improved (p = 0.007) on an attending club day (mean: 58.0 ± SD 12.6) versus a non-attending club day (51.8 ± 15.0). Children also more closely adhered to the SFS (p = 0.001) on an attending club day (median = 9, interquartile range = 8–9) versus a non-attending club day (median = 7, interquartile range = 6–8). This suggests that holiday programmes targeting children who receive free school meals during term time have the potential to improve children’s dietary behaviours during the school holidays, underlining the importance of holiday programmes to support food security.

Abstract:
Zoological collections are rapidly changing from a place of entertainment to centers of education. Many zoological collections run holiday and weekend clubs with activities aimed at inspiring and enthusing the next generation. The COVID-19 pandemic saw zoological collections across the world closing, leading a need for alternative educational content. Edinburgh Zoo, UK converted their summer school to a virtual provision. This provided a unique opportunity to determine the effectiveness of online zoological education by investigating if engagement levels differ for family groups when education is ‘live’, ‘recorded’ or ‘activity’ based. A total of 235 participants signed up for the Virtual Summer School, which comprised of 46 separate activities. Submissions, comments and polls were coded for content level and activity type. Results show that the overall engagement was higher for the live sessions compared to the recorded content; however, the content level was higher for activities. Content level increased over the week and there was a higher reported nature appreciation at the end of the Virtual Summer School. These findings provided evidence to suggest that online holiday zoo education can engage and inspire and gives insight on how to maximize the engagement and knowledge acquisition when using these online platforms.

Abstract:
My thesis aims at the function of breakfast and after school clubs based on children's, parents and supervisors' views. The quantitative research took place in three different clubs in three different local primary schools, and the other part of the qualitative research is based on semi structured interviews with 5 different after school members of staff. The theoretical part of my thesis analyses the topic free time before and after school and two concrete sociological researches. Furthermore it describes the function of before and after school clubs based on Pavkova and Hajek literature. The next part is aimed at supervisors' and family function. The last part of my theoretical thesis is aimed at pupils milestones at primary schools. The practical part is devided into qualitative and quantitative research. In the quantitative research the questionnaires for parents and children have been analysed and seen in tables and grafs. The research questions aim at to find out what is perceived as the most important function of before and after school clubs and what they liked to be improved. The qualitative part is aimed at analysing a semi-structured questionnaire. It aims at supervisors' purpose, relationships between them and the parents, relationships between the pupils and members of staff.

Abstract:
Adult men outside of the schools also played football, using the game as a means of confirming social bonds centered on educational experience, occupation, ethnic identity, or military service. These types of games took place when the usual social strictures on male behavior were loosened, such as holidays or times of war. These matches fall into four categories, although there was often considerable overlap between them: nostalgia football, played as a way of recalling schooldays or childhoods; holiday football, a popular version of mob football generally played on special occasions or as part of ethnic festivals; military football, first played by soldiers during the Civil War; and club football, organized by teams outside the schools. Although games from the first three categories were not uncommon, matches between formal established clubs were rare. Formal, organized clubs detached from educational institutions do not begin to form until the 1880s.

Abstract:
Against the backdrop of public concerns raised about the role of external evangelical visitors in state-funded schools, Chapter 5 examines the mundane realities of the relationships that children’s workers and volunteers from St George’s Church (charismatic) and Riverside Church (open evangelical) developed with local schools. Focusing on the visits made by children’s workers to deliver assemblies, and the after-school, lunchtime, and holiday clubs they ran, this chapter considers how children’s agency was either limited or enabled across these different spaces. Examining how the adults involved in these engagements with children spoke about the moral significance of their work, it argues that these kinds of engagement offered adults a sense of meaning and hope, allowing them to understand themselves as agents of change at a time when the public sphere often seems unwieldy and beyond individuals’ control.

This chapter notes the changes to the alpine region following World War I. Life in the Eastern Carpathians was transformed by these developments following the wars which firmed up the border between the new Polish state and its neighbors such as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Additionally, tensions persisted between development and conservation. The chapter includes the Provincial Social Committee's poor attempts to establish a three-day Hutsul Holiday. On the other hand, the Society of Friends of the Hutsul Region took credit for discovering the Hutsul region and its people in the interwar period.

Many years later, the idea of using ritual to uplift the community was employed by a collective of Black artists in order to combat negative imagery.

Abstract:
This chapter develops an argument showing how the idea of play as freely chosen and personally directed needs careful consideration and perhaps a broader understanding for playworkers working with children with Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD), who are often described as having substantial difficulty in intentional communication. Observations and semi-structured interviews were carried out in an afterschool club and holiday play scheme for children with PMLD in south east England in order to explore staff understandings of and attitudes towards the play of children with PMLD. Interweaving the data with the literature on disabled children, a focus on communication, relationships and playfulness emerged, which has potential to support playworkers working with children with PMLD.

Abstract:
This essay addresses the role that judges play in shaping the grounds for the exercise of jurisdiction. It considers how courts, in particular in England and Wales and in Canada, have moulded the gateways for exercising jurisdiction in cross-border cases, with a particular focus on the approach in ‘holiday tort’ cases such as Brownlie v Four Seasons (UKSC) and Club Resorts v Van Breda (Can SC). It argues that most of the gateways should be treated as legal standards and exercised on a presumptive basis subject to the courts’ discretion to decline to do so in particular cases, but some gateways have the inherent potential to be exorbitant and so should be exercised only on a discretionary basis.

Abstract:
Between 1972 and 1984, Hollywood produced several lavish jazz-related films. The failure of Lady Sings the Blues to do justice to the life or music of Billie Holiday is detailed. Martin Scorsese’s New York, New York is a swing-era musical about a clash of artistic temperaments and of musical styles, reinforced by a disjunction between stylized sets and naturalistic acting. Gangsters and musicians mix in Francis Ford Coppola’s film about Harlem’s historic Cotton Club. In the 1970s, low-budget features are also produced: TV biopics of Louis Armstrong (with Ben Vereen) and Scott Joplin (Billy Dee Williams), and the Afrofuturist spectacle Space Is the Place, starring bandleader Sun Ra as an interstellar traveler come to rescue Earth’s black people.
