Bear running

Welcome to our 2024 advent calendar of kindness, warmth, wellness and community spirit! Each day until Christmas we will be sharing info on how to help one another stay safe and well.

The Winter HAF programme is here! There is a wide range of fun and free activities for children and young people eligible for benefits-related free school meals available during the winter break from school. It's the perfect opportunity to HAF a go and make the most of the school holiday.

The full programme of winter activities has something for everyone; including arts and crafts, sports, dance, performing arts and much more. The best part is that every single activity comes with a nutritious and delicious meal to keep children energised and satisfied.

The HAF scheme is open to any young person in full-time education from reception to Year 11 if their families are eligible for benefits-related free school meals. To check eligibility for free school meals and apply visit the Free School Meals website.  

Eligible families will be issued with a HAF code to access a maximum of four funded sessions over the winter holidays. New applicants may need to request a code from the team.

Children aged 4 to 6 years (Reception to Year Two) are entitled to free school meals but benefits-eligible parents and carers of these children will need to register for free school meals to access the HAF programme and unlock further financial support for schools.

Visit www.warwickshire.gov.uk/haf to discover the full range of winter activities offered by the Warwickshire HAF Programme and for registration enquiries.
We’ll see you tomorrow for day X of our Christmas countdown calendar!
