Children across Burton upon Trent and East Staffordshire will be encouraged to have a healthier half term this May as the Council organises a range of free sporting sessions.
East Staffordshire Borough Council’s Sports Development team will be touring round Burton and Uttoxeter between Tuesday, May 27th and Friday, May 30th with their Sport in the Hood and School’s Out initiatives.

All the sessions are free and run by qualified sports leaders who have had an enhanced criminal record bureau check.
