UPDATE: The HAF Programme will continue to run until the end of March 2029
Family life can be a balancing act at the best of times, and even more so if you’re juggling finances. We are delighted to share that GOGO Makers will continue to participate in the Warwickshire HAF programme this year. The HAF programme supports families in receipt of certain benefits by providing free childcare and meals during school holidays through your local authority. It does not apply to half term holidays.
Unlock Fun and Learning with GO GO Makers’ HAF Scheme Program across our Warwickshire locations!
The Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) is a government initiative designed to provide children with enriching activities and nutritious meals during school holidays. This includes the Christmas, Easter and Summer holiday breaks, but not half terms. In 2021 the UK Government pledged to invest £200m each year and it’s been a huge success. That means more opportunities for your children to engage, learn, and have fun during the breaks without compromising their nutrition.
As the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child and we’re passionate about pulling together to help families in Warwickshire. Children can access a maximum of 4 sessions in Winter, 4 sessions in Spring, and up to 16 sessions in Summer which can make a huge difference to families who are balancing finances to make ends meet. It means that children can gain access to healthy and nutritious meals, and be cared for in our safe and enriching holiday camps.

Funded by the Department for Education, the HAF programme provides eligible children with free access to holiday playschemes and healthy meals during the winter, spring and summer school holidays.
To be eligible children must be in full time education, and in receipt of benefits-related free school meals. You can find more information on eligibility for free school meals on the Government website. Families can access the programme via their local County Council. Once enrolled will have a code to use with holiday camp providers such as GO GO Makers.
