Thousands can enjoy a free summer of fun across the North West!
Families receiving free school meals can book on to a range of exciting FREE activities this summer thanks to the Holiday Activities Food (HAF) programme.
This year, more than 3,000 fun and enjoyable sessions will be available to children and young people over the summer holidays in the North West.
From cinema screenings and theatre shows to swimming sessions, creative arts, and alternative sports, there’s something for everyone, with the opportunity to pick up a free lunch at every session.
We’ve put together a list of booking links so you can find out what is local to you. These are available to all families with children receiving free school meals within the regional postcode on a first come, first served basis.
The HAF programme is funded by the government and will run throughout the summer holidays of 2023.
