Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme – Easter Holidays
There will be a ‘Holiday Activities and Food’ club running at Magnus during the second week of the Holidays. This will run from 7th-10th April 2.30-5pm.
The HAF programme is funded by the Department for Education and aims to support the wellbeing of children aged between 5 and 16 years, focusing on physical and mental wellbeing by providing a variety of activities during school holidays. We are hosting sessions for 11-16 year olds however there are plenty of primary age programmes running in our local community as well.
Local activity providers run face-to-face sessions that are fully funded for children and young people receiving benefits-related free school meals. Included in each session is a meal.
The aims are:
• to support children to eat healthily
• to support children to active during school holidays
• to support children in their understanding of health and nutrition
• to support families to be engaged with local support services.

HAF is open to children and young people aged between 5 and 16 years (age 4 if in reception class full-time) and receiving benefits-related free school meals.
