HAF funding has been extended and will now run until March 2029

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme is funded by the Department for Education (DfE) to provide young people who are in full-time education (Reception to Year 11) and eligible for benefits-related free school meals with access to enriching activities and meals, for free, during the three main school holidays - Winter, Spring and Summer.

The Warwickshire HAF Programme is currently undergoing review to incorporate changes in line with the recent national updates to Free School Meals.
