Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme

Free holiday clubs for children and young people who receive benefits-related free school meals.

To book a place, you must live in Bath and North East Somerset and your child must be in Reception to Year 11.

What the programme offers

Our HAF programme provides healthy food and enriching activities during the school holidays. Every club provides:

  • at least one healthy meal a day
  • active physical activities (like sports or dance)
  • creative activities (like arts, crafts or cooking)
  • a safe environment to socialise and learn new skills

How to book

Places are booked through our partner platform. You will need your HAF Pass (sent to you by your child's school via text or email).

Warning If you have not received your HAF Pass, contact your child’s school directly before trying to book. 

Children with SEND 

We offer specific sessions for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Many of our mainstream clubs also provide 1-to-1 support.

If you do not receive free school meals 

In some cases, we can offer places to vulnerable children who do not receive free school meals. Please contact your chosen activity provider to discuss eligibility.
