Swindon24 reported on Friday 25 September 2026 that Revolution Performing Arts (RPA) had welcomed around 450 young people over 12 days of summer holiday activities, with 27 leaders and assistants running the sessions. One parent quoted in the report referred to the holiday club at Croft.
What did the children do?
Singing, dancing and acting were on offer, along with fashion shows, arts and crafts, nutrition workshops and outdoor activities. Children painted mugs and water bottles, made keyrings and designed fans. There were quieter creative sessions for those who did not want to perform, and activities were adapted in hot weather.
RPA founder Fi Da Silva-Adams said: "We want the children to have loads of fun, but it's also lovely to see what happens as they become more comfortable." Of the children's progress she said: "Those might seem like little things, but for some children they are huge achievements."
A father whose four children went to the Croft club said: "All four of my children have absolutely loved their time at Croft this summer."
RPA said parents used WhatsApp groups to fill places when a child could not attend.
What happens next?
RPA was preparing winter holiday clubs, with both funded and privately booked places expected. According to the report, it delivers more than 1,200 performing arts sessions a year across Swindon, North Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, and runs weekly classes as well as holiday clubs.
