Holiday activities and food programme (HAF)
We have successfully delivered the bespoke HAF for children from newly arrived families during the Easter, summer and Christmas school holidays. HAF is a free and exciting holiday programme for children and young people who are aged 5 to 16 eligible for benefit-related free school meals, HAF is funded by department for education through local authority.
