Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF)
The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is aimed at providing healthy food and enriching activities for primary and secondary school aged children who are eligible for benefit related free school meals during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays.
In the Easter holidays eligible children can access a variety of sessions at no cost to you. The sessions will include a healthy meal and a variety of exciting activities and sports.

Please contact the delivery partner directly to book a place.
The sessions are fully funded by the Department for Education (DfE). Visit the government website for more information on the national programme.
