Chris Wright, head of leisure at DCLT, said: “We know families are always looking for a range of activities to keep the younger ones entertained over the summer holidays, so we’re really pleased to link up with the Staycation Project to provide free sessions for all Doncaster residents.

“Keeping fit and active is really important and these activities are designed to help children and young people in Doncaster do just that as well as having lots of fun this summer. We’re looking forward to getting them underway and hope as many people as possible will join us.”
