HOLIDAY & FOOD PROGRAMME (HAF) 2021
What is the Holiday Activity and Food programme (HAF)?
The HAF programme is for children and young people aged 5 – 16 years who are eligible for benefit related free school meals. Children and young people and their families will be able to access free activities and healthy recipe boxes during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays.
On 8 November 2020, the government announced that the holiday activities and food programme will be expanded across the whole of England in 2021.
