About the Holiday Activities and Food Programme

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is a government initiative, (funded by the Department for Education), that provides healthy food and fun activities during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays, for primary and secondary school aged children who are in receipt of benefits-related free school meals.

We work with local schools, childcare and holiday club providers, voluntary and community organisations to deliver the programme to those eligible across Bury.

The programme includes:

  • Fun activities in a safe space for children
  • Healthy meals and for all children and young people attending
  • Information and advice for parents and carers

Find out more about the programme on Gov.uk - Holiday activities and food programme.
