Winter Holiday Activity and Food Programme Launched

Published: 1 December 2022

Bookings are now open for the Winter Holiday Activity and Food Programme (HAF). Derby City Council is working in partnership with Community Action Derby to provide free holiday club places during the holidays.

The scheme offers activities and food to children aged 5 to 16 who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals in Derby. There are 22 providers offering a range of activities in all wards across the city.

The holiday clubs will offer the chance to try new and enriching activities including gardening, animation and music production, as well as sports and physical activities like street dance, circus skills and self-defence. Trips will include visits to the pantomime, ice skating, bowling and laser quest.

Children will also be provided with a healthy meal and given the opportunity to learn about healthy food and nutrition.

Families can find out about all the activities and providers for Derby by visiting the Derby HAF webpage.
