SSDC has a wish to provide a holiday programme to young people. In recent years an operator on behalf of SSDC has ran holiday activity programmes from 2 of the 4 centres. The Council is keen to continue these programmes and potentially expand to the other 2 facilities where possible. SSDC is now looking to test the market to ensure best value. As such, it is now looking to refresh and deliver an innovative and exciting new holiday programme. The programme will be delivered largely by utilising the dry side facilities however, some access to swimming pools can be arranged to accommodate activities.
