Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme – Information for Parents
During Christmas break, there are a range of activities for young people to take part. The activities are aimed at mainly young people that are eligible for free school meals. For the majority of the sessions there is a requirement that parents/carers book their child onto the session so organisers know numbers. The young people can choose multiple session options for their booking, however they will get allocated one activity and then be put on a reserve list to ensure that all young people get the opportunity to attend as many activities as they can.
