Free activities for children back this Summer
Plans are underway for the Staffordshire Commissioner’s Space summer programme 2026, which last year saw over 9,000 young people across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent taking part in a range of fun activities.
The programme, for young people aged 8 to 17, brings together public, voluntary and private sector organisations to provide positive activities for young people during the school holidays.
During summer 2025:
• 9,219 young people took part in the Space programme
• 2,429 activities were provided including sports, arts, crafts, and youth activities
• 23,480 attendances were made in total, equating to 46,988 hours of engagement
Activities will be uploaded in the coming weeks. Parents can sign up for all the latest event and activity updates: https://staffordshirespace.uk/.
