Holiday Activity and Food programme
The Government’s Holiday Activities and Food fund (HAF) primarily supports children who receive free school meals. However, here in Stoke-on-Trent, a unique partnership between Stoke-on-Trent City Council and the Hubb Foundation means more children across the city are able to access the activities programme.
Available to children aged 5 to 16 years (including 4-year-old children enrolled in reception at Stoke-on-Trent schools) and primarily aimed at children who are eligible for free school meals, the sessions will include a range of physical activities, arts and crafts and exciting new experiences run by expert organisations including STEM activities. A healthy meal will be also be provided for each attendee.
Families can book onto the free sessions on the website below:
