The government-funded Holiday Activities and Food Programme returns in April, offering a wide range of sport, music and fun, plus free meals, for eligible children.
HAF provides families receiving benefits-related free school meals access to holiday programmes where children can enjoy safe and supported care, free of charge.
This Easter there will be 67 holiday clubs across Croydon providing programmes such as sport, cooking, coding and music. Each eligible child can attend four sessions during the Easter holidays, while parents and carers benefit from the programme’s childcare support.
Eligible families should be given a voucher by their child’s school and will be emailed a unique voucher code from the HAF platform, HolidayActivities.
Families with eligible children who live in Croydon but attend school outside the borough can fill in a voucher request form.
Parents should contact the club in advance to discuss any specific support they need, such as for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
