Lakeside Holiday Activities and Food (HAF)

HAF is a Department for Education (DfE) funded programme aimed at enabling children and young people in receipt of benefits-related free school meals (FSM) to attend school holiday activities and experiences during Easter, summer and Christmas.

85% of the funding is allocated for Children in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM).

15% of the funding is allocated for children between the ages of 5 to 15 who your School consider to be ‘Just About Managing’, vulnerable or in need of this provision. This may include, for example:

• children assessed as being in need
• looked-after children
• children with an EHC plan (Education, health and care plan)
• children assessed as otherwise vulnerable
• children living in areas of high deprivation
• children of refugee families with NRPF

Parents/carers will need to register on the Worcestershire County Council website where all of the Worcestershire HAF providers are advertised. Parents/carers get 16 tickets to use across providers as they wish.

We offer activities that can be adapted to suit a wide range of needs, and to support their own developmental process.
