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 not yet confirmed if the HAF programme will be funded beyond Winter 2024, but planning is underway to ensure that organisations in Derby are ready to deliver at Easter 2025 if funding is confirmed.
If confirmed, 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 who can meet the objectives of the programme, and from organisations who would be interested in ‘scaling up’ their current provision to meet the needs of a wider cohort of children and families. We would welcome joint applications from organisations working in partnership to offer children and young people holiday club experiences, ensuring the diverse needs of children in our city are taken into consideration.
Deadline for applications: Monday 27 January 2025 at 8am.
