All clubs will be operating for a minimum of four hours &nbsp;and will include a hot meal.\u202f\u202fWe have also increased the number of places for secondary school aged children, with some sessions taking place during the evenings and at weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply search for a provider in your area using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.devon.gov.uk\/education-and-families\/haf-providers-map\/\"
