Holiday Activity and Food Provision​​​

Halton Holiday Activity Fund (HAF) Programme​​​​

School holidays can be difficult for some families. The cost of extra food, childcare, and activities to keep children active and entertained can be challenging.

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is a scheme funded by the Department for Education. It gives children who are eligible for free school meals the opportunity to take part in fun, enriching activities and receive a healthy meal. It runs during Easter, summer and the Christmas school holidays.

Places on the holiday schemes are available free of charge to children aged 5 to 16 who receive benefit related free school meals. There are spaces available at a reduced rate for those children that are not eligible for benefit related free school meals. Each local programme will provide delicious, healthy meals, allow kids to get active, help them learn new things, make friends and have fun.
