The summer holidays are here! And we’ve opened up extra places for even more children and young people to attend our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, using our extended criteria.

The Government-funded scheme is primarily to provide activities and nutritional meals during the holidays to children aged five to 16 year olds who receive benefits-related free school meals.

But we have an extended criteria, if there are still enough places and sufficient funding, to open the programme up to include children in that age group who have special educational needs and disabilities, or children in care, or young carers.

We have a range of activities planned for the holidays, and some places are still available.  Simply search for a provider in your area using the interactive map on our website, see what they’re offering, and book a place directly, letting them know that you are asking for an extended criteria place.
