HAF - Holiday Activities and Food for children who receive benefit-related free school meals

Darlington Borough Council is thrilled to announce an exciting Easter Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme.  HAF, funded by the Department for Education (DfE), provides free activities and nutritious meals for all eligible young people aged 5 to 16 years in Darlington.

The following information is from Darlington Borough Council

All children eligible for benefits-related free school meals can participate in the sessions every weekday during the Easter Holidays, from Tuesday 7 April to Friday 17 April. 

The activities, taking place at various locations across the town, include sports, arts and crafts, cooking, gaming and much more, with a nutritious meal provided for every participant at each event.

Families with eligible children will receive information from their child’s school regarding the available sessions and how to access the booking system.   A range of activity sessions is available for children and families with additional needs.

If you have a child who receives benefit-related school meals and they haven’t received a letter from your child’s school regarding the free HAF Easter holiday session, contact your school directly.
