The leisure activities are organized by the family associations belonging to the Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft and the associations of independent welfare in Lower Saxony.

The subsidy for the participation fees is given to parents or parents with at least one child who are resident in Lower Saxony. In exceptional cases, the involvement of grandparents in the support is possible.

The subsidy amounts to up to 21.00 euros per participant and day for adults and children aged 13 and over and up to 13.00 euros for younger children. The amount of the subsidy within the limits of the maximum amounts is determined by the promoters.
