The Department for Education (DfE) have granted Local Authorities funding to provide Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) to cover the Easter, Summer and Christmas Holiday Periods for 2026. The aim is to support children and young people 5-16 years old eligible for benefits related Free School Meals to access high quality activities and food free of charge over each of these holiday periods. We welcome all groups to apply, from community groups, family groups, faith groups, schools, sports clubs, uniformed organisations as well as existing holiday and sport club providers who wish to extend their offer.
