The Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF) launches today, ready for the first delivery period in summer.
Children aged between 5 – 16 years (reception aged 4 and year 11 inclusive) in receipt of benefits-related free school meals are eligible for free holiday activities and food. Please note: This is not a food voucher scheme; all activities happen face-to-face.
Benefits of the programme for children during school holidays:
- eating healthily over the school holidays
- being active during the school holidays
- taking part in engaging and enriching activities which support the development of resilience, character and wellbeing along with their wider educational attainment
- being safe and not to be socially isolated
- having a greater knowledge of health and nutrition
- being more engaged with school and other local services.
There will be plenty of FREE activities for children and young people to enjoy over the summer holidays, and there will be a meal provided for each activity session!
We also have two brilliant family activity days this summer which are great fun for all the family.
You can find more information for both schools and parents/carers on the NCC website:
