The Holiday Activities and Food Programme aims to provide enriching activities and a healthy meal for disadvantaged children in the Easter, Summer, and Christmas school holidays.
The Department for Education has now confirmed that the HAF programme will be funded throughout 2025. We have yet to hear what Derby's allocation will be but are continuing with the EOI process for Easter 2025 so we are in a position to deliver a similar level of provision as in previous years
The funding can enable local groups to provide holiday activities and food to school-aged children from Reception to Year 11 who are eligible for free school meals in Derby.
This fund is open to schools, the voluntary sector and private providers.
Deadline for applications: Monday 27 January 2025 at 8am
