Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, fully funded by the Department for Education, provides an incredible opportunity for children who are entitled to benefits-related free school meals. This initiative allows these children to attend participating holiday activity clubs and enjoy a free meal.

Who is Eligible?

Children eligible for benefits-related free school meals (FSM) can participate in the HAF programme. FSM is available to pupils whose parents receive one of the qualifying benefits and have a claim verified by West Sussex County Council.

For more details on how to apply for FSM, please visit WSCC’s useful links section.

Programme Details

Eligible children can attend their chosen HAF provision for:

• A maximum of four days per week, over four weeks during the Summer holidays
• A maximum of four days per week, over one week during the Christmas holidays

This initiative ensures that children not only engage in enriching activities but also receive nutritious meals during the school holidays.
