The Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) is a great way for your child to have fun during the school holidays. Eligible children will have the opportunity to make new friends, take part in a variety of exciting activities and receive a healthy meal each day.
The entitlement for each eligible child is:
- Four days for four hours during the Easter holidays
- 16 days for four hours during the summer holidays
