HAF Summer 2025

Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Summer 2025
Let’s HAF fun this summer!

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme enables local authorities in England to deliver inclusive, enriching activities including a hot meal over the school holidays. Eligible children can book up to sixteen free places throughout the summer holidays.

The Staffordshire HAF programme will run at various locations in local areas starting from Tuesday 22 July until Friday 29 August 2025. It is funded for children and young people aged 5 – 16 years who receive benefit related free school meals.

How do parents/carers book?
All parents will be sent an email or letter from Staffordshire County Council with their child’s individual HAF code. Activities can be viewed on the HAF website prior to bookings going live on Wednesday 23 June at 4pm and will be updated accordingly throughout June.

1. There will be a ‘Book Now’ button on the HAF page on the county council website when bookings open.
2. Parents/carers can register an account via the booking platform on the website
3. Parents will need their HAF code to hand to book the activities of their choice

Bookings will be open on Monday 23 June at 4pm.

To avoid disappointment, parents/carers should book as soon as possible at: www.staffordshire.gov.uk/holidayactivities
Can a family pay for their child to attend HAF?
Some of the holiday clubs will also have places that can be paid for. Please check our booking platform to see if there are any paid for places available for your chosen activity.
