  • The HAF programme explained

What is it?

The Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme is funded by the Department of Education, with strict guidelines on eligibility. HAF can only be offered to those in reception to year 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals.

The programme offers a range of activities for children and their families including family play days, football camps, music workshops, arts and craft and more. Many of these activities provide food and in addition there are food hampers that can be collected from various locations across the City.

We understand that all children and young people can benefit from a programme like HAF, which is why Gloucestershire County Council have been working hard to secure extra funding to extend the offer to all families. This means we are now able to to offer this programme to other children – HAP

  • HAF is for those receiving benefits related free school meals.
  • HAP is for those that don't but who would still benefit from taking part in activities
