Holiday activities and food (HAF) programme
We are very pleased to announce that the Department for Education have confirmed that the HAF programme will be funded for another year 2025-2026.
The Department for Education (DfE) funded holiday activities and food (HAF) programme aims to support children to eat more healthily, be more active over the school holidays and have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition as well as be more engaged with school and other local services.
The programme is for children who are eligible for benefit-related free school meals.
The HAF programme covers 4 days at Spring, 16 days in the Summer and 4 days at Winter – it does not run in half-term holidays.
