Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF)

Research has shown that the school holidays can be pressure points for some families, leading to a holiday experience gap.

Through the HAF programme, children are encouraged to access out-of-school activities to eat well, get active, have fun and make friends.

HAF (Holidays, Activities, and Food) is a Department for Education (DfE)-funded programme aimed at enabling children and young people in receipt of benefits-related free school meals (FSM) to attend school holiday activities and experiences during Easter, Summer and Christmas.

The programme creates free places for eligible children to attend, with a focus on enriching activities with a healthy meal and snacks included.
