Summer in the City returns to Hammersmith
Summer in the City is back with hundreds of free activities and free food for children and young people during the summer holiday. The busy line-up of events is open to anyone aged four to 16 (and up to 25 for those with additional needs).
All events are free, including food on the day. 30 providers will be there, offering everything from sports, music and drama to arts & crafts and dance. There’s also a wide range of family-friendly events hosted across the borough.
The programme runs until Friday 29th August. Follow the link to browse and book
Every year the council works with Brook Green charity LMP Action to help coordinate Summer in the City events. And you can volunteer to help with the summer fun. It can be a fantastic way to build valuable life skills. Lots of Summer in the City providers have opportunities for young people aged 16 to 19 to volunteer.
Local student Sophie Allwright has been volunteering with our local charity partner LMP Action for the past year. She’s been studying for her A-levels at Latymer Upper School and hopes to become a doctor one day.
Explaining why she loves volunteering, Sophie said: “It’s a really rewarding experience because you can directly see how your involvement has an impact.”
“I’ve built strong bonds with the kids and the other staff members and volunteers. I love seeing the kids grow as they come back each year. And I’ve learnt valuable skills like building my confidence with how to engage children. The great thing about volunteering is it’s completely flexible. You can do as little or as much that suits your schedule.”
Whether you’re interested in a career in education, youth work, charity, sports, public services, the arts or creative industries, there’s plenty of volunteering opportunities to explore.
