HAF information and referrals
The HAF programme offers support to families on lower incomes, giving young people the opportunity to access enriching activities alongside healthy meals over the main school holidays in Winter, Spring & Summer.
Please note that this programme is entirely separate from the Local Welfare Scheme's household support funding (i.e. supermarket HUGGG vouchers). Each eligible young person (in full-time education from Reception to Year 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals) with a HAF code can access; Winter HAF (4 sessions maximum), Spring HAF (4 sessions maximum) and Summer HAF (16 sessions maximum) Families have the flexibility to book with multiple activity providers if desired.
Eligible families need to request a HAF Code via a brief online form.
Please share details of this programme with families. We can re-send codes if required, just send us an email via hafprogramme@warwickshire.gov.uk.
Due to new guidance, we have closed our professional referral process while we review our processes. We are unable to accept new referrals at this time.
Families who have been referred within the period of Spring 2025 – Winter 2025/26 will continue to be able to access support over Spring 2026. If you are a referring professional and have not received guidance for previously referred families under your care, please get in contact through hafprogramme@warwickshire.gov.uk.
