School’s out and across North Lincolnshire young people can look forward to a fun-packed summer full of exciting activities.
North Lincolnshire Council has teamed up with more than 40 community groups to launch the Fuelled activity programme, which returns bigger and better than ever.
The scheme offers thousands of children, many from low-income homes, the chance to join boredom-busting activities.
This summer there are more events to enjoy than ever before, with exciting new activities including motocross alongside popular favourites like arts and crafts and sports camps.

Places are available to book now at the Fuelled page on the council website. Eligible children have been sent a letter containing a unique code and information on how to register.
As well as the Fuelled programme, there are lots of summer-holiday activities taking place at council-run facilities that are open to all young people.
Families can enjoy one of the world’s biggest exhibitions of street art at Scunthorpe’s 20-21 Visual Arts Centre.
As well as admiring works by Banksy, KAWS, Blek le Rat and many more, people can get creative and add their own urban art designs to the ARTivities graffiti wall.
New Icons is open until 5 November and tickets are free for North Lincolnshire residents. Book on the gallery website.

Riddings and Brigg Community Hubs, together with Scunthorpe Central, are all opening their doors for Breakfast and Books throughout the holidays. Families will receive a healthy breakfast while enjoying reading and craft activities. The sessions are also a great opportunity to take part in Gadgeteers, this year’s Summer Reading Challenge which focuses on science and innovation.
