Holiday Activity and Food

About

Our Holiday Activity and Food sessions run throughout the Easter, Summer and Christmas Holidays. 

The sessions are open to children on benefits-related free school meals and provides them the opportunity to take part in holiday sessions for free. This helps to keep children active and engaged over the break, whilst providing them with a healthy meal.

Eligible parents and carers will receive a HAF code and details of how to use the new HAF booking system via their child’s school.
