If your child has free school meals you can find and book free childrens' activities and events in the school holidays.

The Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme is funded by the Department for Education.

The programme provides fully-funded activities and meals during the school holidays for eligible children and young people. Research has shown that the school holidays can be pressure points for some families. The HAF programme is a response to this, with evidence showing that holiday clubs can have a positive impact on children and young people and that they work best when they provide:

physical activities
enriching activities
nutritious food.

Eligible children can join the HAF programme for up to four days at Easter, 16 days in the summer and four days at Christmas. It does not run in half-term holidays.
