Getting & Using Your HAF Code
The Warwickshire HAF team is currently processing new codes for all families who have previously accessed the programme and remain in the Targeted category of Free School Meals for the 2026-27 school year. Codes will be emailed out shortly to allow families to book their Winter activities.
If you are registering a new child for HAF, our code form will be available prior to listings going live to allow all families to access activities.
HAF funding has been confirmed until March 2029. The HAF code you receive will be valid through to the end of the academic year in which you applied, including the Summer Holiday period.
If your child receives a free meal under universal infant free school meal (UIFSM) policy, you must also be eligible for, and have an active claim for, benefits-related free school meals to be able to access a funded place on the HAF programme.
Families not eligible for HAF may be able to book a paid place at a HAF club. Please contact your chosen provider to find out if they offer paid places.
If you’ve misplaced your child’s HAF code, please email hafprogramme@warwickshire.gov.uk with their full name and date of birth, as well as their current school, and we can send you a reminder.
Please note that if your child attends one of the following schools, we may require more information in order to issue a HAF code, as these schools hold independent records for Free School Meal eligibility:

How to book
Booking for the Warwickshire HAF programme are made directly with providers. Please make sure you have your HAF code to hand when booking.
- Consult our map and listings for a list of available providers. Map/listings can be found LIVE on this page approximately 3-4 weeks prior to delivery.
- Choose your preferred activity provider and contact them using the contact details on the HAF listing. Please note individual providers may accept HAF bookings via phone, email or online portal.
- When contacting your provider, make sure to tell them your child’s full name, HAF code, and desired activity dates. Providers cannot confirm your booking until your code has been verified. You can forward your HAF code email to the provider as additional confirmation. If your child has SEND needs, please discuss these with the provider at the time of booking.
- Receive booking confirmation from the provider and get ready to go!

Cancellations
If you are unable to attend your booked HAF session, please let the provider know so they can re-allocate resources appropriately.
The Warwickshire HAF programme still covers a provider’s costs when a booking is made and not attended. Therefore, although you are not charged for non-attendance, the HAF programme is. This can have a significant impact on our budget and programme sustainability. Non-attendance also prevents another young person benefiting from the place.
If you do not attend 2 or more sessions, without making any contact with the provider, your remaining sessions will be cancelled. Repeated non-attendance to booked sessions may result in the associated HAF code being made invalid for future delivery periods.
