The Holiday Activities & Food Programme (HAF)
We are pleased to be delivering the Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) Programme as part of our commitment to making sport, activity and enrichment accessible to all children. Funded by the Department for Education and delivered through local authorities, the HAF programme provides free holiday camp places and nutritious meals for children who are eligible for free school meals.
School holidays can present additional pressures for families, particularly around childcare, food costs and access to structured activities. Through HAF-funded places at 360 sports education, children can attend our fun, active holiday camps in a safe and supportive environment to enjoy high-quality coaching, a wide range of sports and activities and a healthy meal each day - at no cost to parents or carers.
Our football and multi-activity camps focus on keeping children active, building confidence, developing skills and creating positive holiday experiences with friends.
