Have You Booked Onto The Winter Holiday Activity and Food Programme?

Published: 14 December 2022

The school holidays are almost here so don’t miss the chance to book onto this year’s 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 two-week break.

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.
