Answer:

The HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) programme is a government-funded initiative. It aims to provide healthy meals and fun activities to children during the Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays.

The programme supports families with children on benefits-related free school meals. This is different from the universal free school meals for all Tower Hamlets children.

Answer:

The HAF programme is for children and young people aged 4 to 16 on benefits-related free school meals.

In contrast, universal free school meals are available to all children, regardless of income. However, benefits-related meals are limited to those in families receiving certain benefits.

Answer:

A HAF code is a unique ID for each eligible child to join HAF activities. Children in Tower Hamlets who get free school meals and attend school will automatically receive a HAF code before holidays. HAF codes are issued by the council, not schools.

Answer:

Apply online: Visit the free school meals page and complete the application. You’ll need to provide details about your income and benefits.

Start the free school meals application form

Seek support: Schools can help you with the application process. Apply early as the registration can take some time to be processed and reflected in the system.

Answer:

You should receive confirmation that says your child has been registered for benefits-related free school meals. You should provide a copy of this confirmation to your club when you register to access a free space.

Answer:

The HAF programme offers activities for physical, creative and social growth. These include sports, arts and crafts, music, drama, cooking, workshops and trips.

Answer:

Visit the Holiday activities and Food provision (HAF) page for updates and detailed information.

You can also contact local community centres or schools that are participating in the programme or check out the Tower Hamlets Local Offer.
