Bookings are now open for Nottinghamshire County Council’s holiday activities and food (HAF) programme, ahead of the summer holiday.
Children aged between 5 and 16 years (reception aged 4 and year 11 inclusive) in receipt of benefits-related free school meals are eligible for free holiday activities and food. Please note: This is not a food voucher scheme; all activities happen face-to-face.
Benefits of the programme for children during school holidays:
- eating healthily over the school holidays
- being active during the school holidays
- taking part in engaging and enriching activities which support the development of resilience, character and wellbeing along with their wider educational attainment
- being safe and not to be socially isolated
- having a greater knowledge of health and nutrition
- being more engaged with school and other local services.
There will be plenty of fully funded activities for children and young people to enjoy over the summer holidays, and there will be a meal provided for each activity session!
Eligible families are also invited to a fun-filled day of excitement, laughter and adventure at Adventures at Mill Waters. There are 200 free places available for families to enjoy an action packed day, including: high ropes, nets adventure courses, inflatables, frisbee golf, and water-based activities!
You can find more information for both schools and parents/carers on the NCC website.
