The Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) is funded by the Department for Education. The programme aims to support the wellbeing of children aged between 5 – 16 years focussing on physical and mental wellbeing by providing a variety of activities during school holidays.
Local activity providers run face to face sessions that are FREE to children and young people aged 5 – 16 years and receiving benefits-related free school meals. There are also places available to families with low income – and to children and young people who may face social isolation without the support of HAF - these places are granted on an individual basis.
Included in each session is a meal, this may be breakfast or lunch depending on the programme offered.
