The programme is funded by the Department for Education so that local authorities can offer healthy food and enriching activities in the school holidays to children who receive benefit-related free school meals during term time. A small number of places are also available on HAF schemes for other vulnerable families.

Bookings will be available in early March, but eligible parents/carers are encouraged to register their children for HAF to receive their booking code. Registration can be done by providing very simple information at the link below:
