DN692459 - The Provision of Holidays Activities and Food Programme (HAF) Junior Gym Memberships

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme is a national programme that supports school age children and young people receiving benefits related free school meals (FSM). HAF aims to improve outcomes for these children by offering healthy food, and opportunities to participate a range of activities during the school holidays.

Each local authority receives funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver the HAF programme which provides eligible children with free access to holiday activities and a meal during Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays. The Council has been allocated funding to coordinate the delivery of the HAF programme across Leicestershire and a portion will now be used on the provision of Junior Gym Memberships.
