HAF information for children and young people

Are you school age and keen to get out and be active in the easter, summer and christmas holidays?

If you get free school meals, you can attend free holiday activities as part of the holiday activities and food programme (HAF). You'll also get a meal whilst you're at the activity.  

We have a produced  Frequency Asked Questions. to explain about the holiday activity and food programme. 

Take a look at our summer HAF video!

If there's something you like the look of, speak to your parent or carer about taking part as you’ll need their permission!

Ask them to contact the activity provider to find out more and to book a place. It's as simple as that!
