What is HAF?
The programme is designed to provide healthy food and enriching activities during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays to children who receive benefits-related free school meals. It has been fully funded, but the Department for Education offers valuable support to families on lower incomes, giving them the opportunity to access rewarding and active activities alongside healthy meals over the school holidays. Nationally ActiveXplorers have played an invaluable role in this programme along with other community, private and voluntary organisations.
Our Part
We are working in collaboration with a significant range of local authorities to create a highly enriching programme of activities and events. These include fun team-building games, the promotion of leadership by encouraging children to direct their team, as well as enabling them to expand their creativity and knowledge to create performances in dance and gymnastics.
We ensure that children come away from our sessions having had lots of fun and with a renewed sense of confidence in their abilities.
