The programme is funded by the Department for Education so that local authorities can offer healthy food and enriching activities in the school holidays to children who receive income-based free school meals during term time. A small number of places are also available on HAF schemes for other vulnerable families. We are now inviting families to book their free school holiday clubs over the upcoming festive period. We would like schools' help in encouraging as many eligible families as possible to take part.
