Holiday activities and food programme

Free activities and lunches for children and young people aged 4 to 16 (in receipt of benefit-related Free School Meals).

We’re delighted to share that we've been awarded funding to continue delivering the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme for another 3 years.

This continued investment from the Department for Education is fantastic news and testament to the impact HAF has had in supporting children, young people, and families during school holidays.

As part of our wider Youth Offer, HAF plays a vital role in our commitment to providing more opportunities for children and young people to thrive, through a diverse range of fun-packed activities including arts, crafts, sport and trips that will run throughout the School Easter, summer and Christmas holidays.

There will be free activities and lunches for children and young people who are: 

  • aged 4 to 16 years (reception to year 11)
  • in receipt of benefit-related Free School Meals

Each club will provide:

  • a wide range of exciting activities to suit different ages and personalities
  • fun physical activity sessions
  • free, nutritious, tasty food
