Eligible families in Devon can now book a wide range of activities for their children to take part in over the upcoming Easter holidays as part of the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme.
Funded by the Government’s Department for Education and administered locally by Devon County Council, the scheme offers free physical activities and healthy, nutritional hot meals during school holidays to children of low-income families.
Devon County Council have teamed up with over 80 different activity providers across Devon to offer more than 6,000 places to children aged five to 16 years old, who receive benefit-related free school meals.
As usual there is a wide range of activities to choose from, cooking and craft, sports and coaching, outdoor and forest play, music and dance and more. All clubs will be operating for a minimum of four hours for four days and will include a hot meal.
If your child is eligible to access the programme, simply search for a provider in your area, have a look at their listing to see what they’re offering, then when you’re ready, book a place with them directly.
For more information about our Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, including the eligibility criteria and booking process, please visit Devon County Councils website.
