Holiday Activities and Food Programme
The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme was designed to support children during the school holidays to eat more healthily, be more active and have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition. In Sefton we are working with a range of schools, charities, community organisations and sports providers to create free holiday provision. Fore more information please visit our HAF Padlet.
The programme runs for 1 week during the Easter and Christmas holidays and for 4 weeks during the summer and includes a healthy meal each day.
Who is the programme for?
Young people aged 5-16 years (or 4-year-olds if in reception) and eligible for and receiving benefit related free school meals are eligible to take part in the HAF Programme.
