The Department for Education (DfE) funded Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme aims to support children to eat more healthily, be more active over the school holidays and have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition as well as be more engaged with school and other local services.

The programme is for children who are eligible for benefit related Free School Meals

The HAF programme covers four days at Easter, 16 days in the summer and four days at Christmas – it does not run in half-term holidays.
