What is the Holiday Activities and Food programme?
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 to 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 fully funded to children and young people aged 5 to16 years and receiving benefits-related free school meals. There are also places available to families with low income and live in one of Nottinghamshire's priority postcodes – these places are granted on an individual basis. Contact the HAF team if you feel that you could be eligible.
Included in each session is a meal, this may be breakfast or lunch depending on the programme offered.
