Each club will provide:

How to book activities
Families who receive benefit related free school meals will receive a HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) Code via email or text message.
This code lets you access a webpage with details of all activities and book your child’s space. Make sure you follow the link and instructions in the message.
Each code is unique to each family. Families with more than one child will get a code for each child.
If you haven’t received a HAF code and your child receives, benefit related free school meals, or if you require any support with bookings, contact HAF Programme.
We also have a number of places available on a first come, first serve basis for parents and carers who are experiencing hardship, but whose children do not receive free school meals. Email the team on the email address above if you’d like to apply for one of these places.
- find out if your child's entitled to free school meals during term-time
