Holiday activities and food (HAF) programme

the HAF logo

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 four days at Easter, 16 days in the summer and four days at Christmas – it does not run in half-term holidays.

The Summer 2024 programme has now finished.

Please check back on the 1st of December to find our list of winter 2024 providers.
