Healthy Holidays is our local name for the Department for Education's (DfE) Holiday Activity and Food Programme.
Our fantastic holiday clubs provide delicious food and amazing activities for school aged children who are eligible for income-related Free School Meals. The best bit is that we receive funding from the Department for Education to run these clubs, so there is no cost to the parents/ carers for their children and young people to attend.
We run over the Easter, summer and Christmas holidays, for children from reception to year 11. To make a booking, you will first need to register. Once you have registered you will be notified that your eligibility has been confirmed and you will be able to go ahead and book activities for Easter, summer and Christmas once they are live.
