In 2019, the Active Essex Foundation (AEF) spearheaded efforts to tackle Holiday Hunger in Essex, reaching over 2,000 families and launching the Essex ActivAte initiative. Through local organisations, AEF combats holiday inactivity and hunger while supporting vulnerable young people and families.

Since 2022, the Active Essex Foundation Sports and Youth Crime Prevention programme has been awarded funding by Essex ActivAte. The project has been engaging, funding and working with specalist organisations across Essex and Thurrock to offer a bespoke holiday provision for young people. Each holiday project is different and offers sports and physical activities blended with life skills, training and volunteering.
