Splash Cymru is a programme of diversionary activities for 13 to 17-year-olds that runs in the school holidays in Wales . It was launched in 2002 (originally for ages 9 to 17), following the success of the Splash and Splash Extra programmes in England .
Funded and managed by the YJB, the programme consists of locally run schemes based in areas characterised by high levels of crime and deprivation.
In keeping with preceding Splash schemes, a process of targeting and referral is employed to ensure that those young people most likely to offend during holiday periods are engaged in the activities offered.
